Real Madrid's coach officially speaks about Mbappe, causing public opinion to stir.

A few days after the 3-4 loss to Bayern, the aftermath still hasn't settled, especially the controversy surrounding Mbappe and Arbeloa's recent notable statement.

The 3-4 defeat at the Allianz Arena (aggregate score 4-6) against Bayern Munich was a major shock and remains painful for the Spanish Royal club. The match unfolded with an unbelievable script as Real Madrid continuously led thanks to the brilliance of Arda Guler and Kylian Mbappe. However, Eduardo Camavinga receiving two consecutive yellow cards completely reversed the game's momentum in the second half.

Taking advantage of the numerical superiority, Bayern Munich pressed relentlessly and scored two consecutive goals in the final minutes by Luis Diaz and Michael Olise. This loss not only exposed systemic mistakes in Los Blancos' defense but also made superstar Kylian Mbappe the focal point of criticism from a portion of fans from the moment the match ended until now.

Many critical opinions targeted Mbappe after Real Madrid's elimination from the Champions League.

Many opinions suggest the French forward was too lazy in defensive support and made selfish ball-handling decisions at crucial moments. However, Coach Alvaro Arbeloa immediately refuted these views. He affirmed that Mbappe played a match worthy of his world-class stature and was the team's brightest highlight.

Speaking at the press conference before the match against Deportivo Alavés, Arbeloa emphasized: "I cannot be disappointed with Kylian. He played a pair of matches commensurate with his class. I am truly happy with his performance. For me, that is the Mbappe template we all crave to see on the pitch every day."

On his part, Mbappe also shared a courageous statement on social media to reassure fans. He admitted disappointment but affirmed that Real Madrid will never collapse. This forward stressed that in Madrid, failure is never an option and the team will soon return stronger.

The declarations from both Arbeloa and Mbappe have become a crucial spiritual pillar for the team during this crisis period. Although this season's Champions League has ended in tears, the absolute support from the coaching staff for Mbappe shows faith in the future of the "White Eagles" remains extremely solid.
