'He will show his quality tomorrow'- Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti backs Kylian Mbappe to overcome recent woes
France international Kylian Mbappe hasn't had the fairy tale start to life at Real Madrid he would have hoped for after his summer move to the Spanish giants.
This loss was compounded by Mbappe's failure to convert a crucial penalty, which left fans questioning his impact on the team.
In a match that saw Liverpool dominate, Alexis Mac Allister opened the scoring early in the second half. Shortly after, Real Madrid was awarded a penalty, giving Mbappé a chance to equalise.

However, his attempt was saved by Liverpool's second choice goalkeeper, Caoimhin Kelleher, leading to a wave of disappointment among the Madrid supporters.
Following this miss, Mohamed Salah also failed to score from the spot, but Liverpool's lead remained intact as they secured their victory with a second goal from substitute Cody Gakpo.
)
The aftermath of the match saw fans expressing their frustration and disappointment on social media.
One particularly scathing comment noted, “Mbappe is a good finisher. One day, he will finish Real Madrid,” reflecting the sentiment that his recent performances have not lived up to expectations.
)
Another fan humorously suggested that a DNA test might be necessary to confirm if this was indeed the same player who had dazzled on the pitch in previous seasons:
“Nah at this point we have to DNA test him to see if this is the same Mbappe, I refuse to believe what I’m seeing.”
)
Critics have pointed out that Mbappe's struggles in this match were indicative of a larger trend; he has only managed one goal in this season's Champions League campaign.
This has led to increasing scrutiny regarding his role in the team and whether he can deliver when it matters most. As one fan put it sarcastically, “Pretty impressive by Kylian Mbappe to make a free transfer seem like a bad deal for Real Madrid.”
)
This defeat leaves Real Madrid with significant work ahead as they sit 24th in their Champions League standings, with only three matches remaining to secure a place in the knockout stages.
Meanwhile, Liverpool's victory propels them back to the top of their group, reinforcing their strong form under manager Arne Slot as they continue their impressive season under the new boss.
