Mbappé in crisis: Real Madrid is threatened with elimination from the Champions League!

A shock for Real Madrid! In a dramatic UEFA Champions League game against Liverpool, Kylian Mbappe experienced a nightmare. The French superstar, who moved to Los Blancos from Paris Saint-Germain, not only missed a crucial chance but also saw his team go down 2-0. This defeat brings Madrid to the brink of elimination from the prestigious competition!

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti expressed concern about Mbappe's form after the game. “He needs love and support,” explained Ancelotti, emphasizing that the striker is currently going through a “difficult phase”. After a painful tackle from 21-year-old Liverpool defender Conor Bradley and a missed penalty that squandered the chance for an equaliser, Mbappe was visibly frustrated. "We have to be patient. He is an exceptional player," Ancelotti added.

Mbappe in the firing line

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

The situation becomes even more complicated as Liverpool shine under new coach Arne Slot and continue their perfect Champions League record. While Mohamed Salah also missed a penalty, Cody Gakpo scored the Reds' second goal and secured the win. Madrid are now under pressure to deliver against Atalanta in their next game, while Liverpool will face Girona. The tension is rising – will Mbappe turn things around or will he remain in the shadow of himself?
