Report: Kylian Mbappé’s Brutal Dig at Carlo Ancelotti Amid Real Madrid Slump | OneFootball

Kylian Mbappé’s start at Real Madrid has been a bit challenging. While he’s scored eight goals and provided two assists in 15 appearances, the former Paris Saint-Germain standout is still adjusting to the team’s playing style.

The Frenchman’s El Clásico debut was particularly tough, as Real Madrid were hammered 4-0 by Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabéu on October 26. The struggles continued on Tuesday, with a 3-1 loss to AC Milan in the UEFA Champions League.

That defeat marked Real Madrid’s second consecutive home loss, with a combined score of 7-1 over the two games. Throughout both matches, PSG’s all-time top scorer struggled to make a notable impact.

Mundo Deportivo reports that Mbappé isn’t a fan of Carlo Ancelotti’s style of play. He’s reportedly mentioned to those close to him that he’s accustomed to having the team play around him such as it was done with PSG.

Following the loss to AC Milan, a report surfaced suggesting that Carlo Ancelotti’s future is now in jeopardy. Nonetheless, if Real Madrid fired Ancelotti, the blame should be solely on club president Florentino Pérez for causing this situation.

“Florentino Pérez is giving Ancelotti a poisoned gift,” Olivier Rouyer said on L’ÉQUIPE du soir this week. “In the end, imagine Madrid loses the next match in the Champions League, I don’t know against whom, I’m sorry, and the match after that. But Ancelotti might get fired because, precisely, Ancelotti has this problem: ‘What do I do with Mbappé? Since I can’t put him on the left.’

“It’s a serious problem. You know why? Because of the timing of Mbappé’s transfer. It’s not right. We all agree. If he had left in 2022, Vinicius, who was at Real, would have had his left wing. The problem is that the two years that delayed his transfer allowed Vinicius to explode. We agree. And it messed up the balance.”
