In a key match in the fifth round of the Champions League stage that ended in the early morning of November 28, Beijing time, the defending champion Real Madrid was successfully avenged by Liverpool 0-2 away from home, and fell to 24th place in the standings after suffering two consecutive defeats.
In this game, the French superstar Mbappe in the Real Madrid team missed a key penalty and became the number one culprit in the team's defeat. What is even more worrying is that Mbappe is suspected of being isolated by his Real Madrid teammates.
According to live TV footage, Mbappe tried to communicate with his teammates in the tunnel before the start of the second half, but it did not have much effect. He was holding Bellingham's hand and trying to talk to him about tactics, but the England star ignored Mbappe and chatted with Rudiger and Dias instead.
After being ignored, Mbappe then leaned against the wall in the Anfield stadium with his hands behind his back, his eyes looking helpless. Real Madrid reporter Mario Cortegana said bluntly: "Mbappe looked underconfident and depressed. The relationship with his Real Madrid teammates seems far away.ā
Once upon a time, Mbappe was the leader of the fans and teammates in Paris, and the darling of the boss who "held it in the palm of his hand and was afraid of melting", but he didn't expect that he had already tasted the warmth of human affection after only a few months after joining Real Madrid.
And when the final whistle blew, Mbappe did not choose to go to the stands of Real Madrid fans who accompanied the team to thank him, but hurried into the dressing room alone and left, his expression quite dissatisfied. He didn't show up in front of the media or in the mixed zone for interviews after the defeat like Real Madrid leaders like Luka Modric, Ceballos or Bellingham. All signs are that Mbappe is in the Real Madrid dressing room and has experienced a serious crisis of confidence.
