Mbappé in the crisis: Real Madrid threatens the Champions League off!

A shock for Real Madrid! Kylian Mbappe experienced a nightmare in a dramatic Uefa Champions League game against Liverpool. The French superstar, who switched from Paris Saint-Germain to the royal, not only missed a decisive chance, but also saw how his team went down with 0: 2. Madrid brings this defeat to the edge of the elimination from the prestigious competition!

Real Madrid's trainer Carlo Ancelotti commented on Mbappe's form after the game. "He needs love and support," said Ancelotti and emphasized that the striker is currently experiencing a "difficult phase". After a painful tackle by the 21-year-old Liverpool defender Conor Bradley and a missed penalty, who played the chance of compensation, Mbappe was visibly frustrated. "We have to be patient. He is an extraordinary player," added Ancelotti.

Mbappe, who scored nine goals for Madrid in 18 games, only hit the Champions League once. This worrying balance could have fatal consequences for the royal, who are on the 24th place in the new 36-league phase. Only the best eight teams reach the knockout round, while the places have to go nine to 24 in the playoffs. An early departure would be a bitter setback for the record champions!

The situation becomes even more complicated because Liverpool shines under the new coach Arne Slot and continues his perfect record in the Champions League. While Mohamed Salah also awarded a penalty, Cody Gakpo made the second goal of the Reds and secured the victory. Madrid is now under pressure to deliver against Atalanta in the next game, while Liverpool will compete against Girona. The tension increases - will Mbappe create the turn or does it remain in the shadow of himself?
