Kylian Mbappé's situation at Real Madrid has become a topic of debate in France, with many analyzing the forward's performance in recent matches. Michel Platini, the former French national team player and 1984 European Champion, expressed his concern regarding the striker's current form, especially after the defeat at Anfield against Liverpool, where he missed a penalty and showed difficulties in his overall performance.

A temporary dip for Mbappé?

Platini did not hide his worry, stating that he sees Mbappé as "lost on the field." However, he also expressed confidence that the Real Madrid forward will overcome this rough patch. "A great champion always rises from the ashes, and that's what Kylian will do," Platini commented, emphasizing that this slump could just be temporary for both the player and French football.

Despite the criticism, particularly after Mbappé's performance against Liverpool, where he lost 15 balls and showed no signs of recovery, Platini remains hopeful that the player will shine again. During his seven years at Paris Saint-Germain, Mbappé was an undisputed figure, but now in Madrid, he faces a greater challenge in regaining his top form. 

Mbappé's immediate future

The upcoming matches will be crucial for Kylian Mbappé to regain his confidence and prove his potential to those who still believe in him. The pressure in Madrid is immense, and after his absences from the French national team, the public's attention on his performance is higher than ever. Despite the criticism, Platini trusts that with hard work and determination, Mbappé will overcome this difficult phase and show why he is one of the best players in the world.
