      mbappe literally gained the ball at least three times and started a counter attack. i agree he should have made better decisions in the attacking third but he was the most dangerous forward. idk what happened to jude in the second half but first half he was good he locked up psgs right flank with fran but they were missing a good
      co to detend really well. ESPN continuing their hate propaganda against Mbappe, The real issue is that Real Madrid lacks midfielders who can control the game, and their leaky defence

      I'm worried because RM has got no club legend left to guide these young players,we all saw how Benzema and Kross not only coached all players when we were trailing against Man City but led them, Modric is leaving, Lucas is leaving, we're left with Dani whom I'm not even sure he's gonna be the Dani we know. Acensio can't play every game, we need a right back,Mbappe and Vini needs to press,Vini losses the ball and throw his hands in the air then he doesn't press,then the circle starts again
      The league is starting next month and we struggled against Juventus,Its Juventus for God's sake

      This Mbappe bashing is getting boring from people who talentwise are closer to any random couch stuck sports fan than the kind of historic striker Mbappe is. As far as I am concerned, they are not fitter than any of us to pass judgment on him. Mbappe, coming to a new team and a new championship scored more goals than anyone else this year. There asking from him something they never asked from Messi or Ronaldo. Rudiger and the rest of the defense cannot keep it together and Mbappe is the guilty party. Ridiculous.

      The problem is Vitinha and Fabian Ruiz control the tempo.

      Bellingham and valverde can’t

      You’d think, Xabi alonso, of all people can see this

    8. @phiIip488 on

      Madrid went very fast from true leaders like ronaldo, Ramos, kroos, modric, Benzema etc to immature kids like vini, Bellingham, valverde, rudiger

      Yesterday we saw the continuation of Ancelotti's team. These Real Madrid players can't seem to play any other way…just kick the ball to the front strikers and hope for the best. Xabi will have a hard time getting this team to play his way. Not with Vinícius and Mbappé walking for 90 minutes instead of pressing…just look at PSG's front three and then look at Real Madrid's front three…Dembele never stopped pressing, even though the game was over at the 25th minute.

      Honestly I just think this team does not mix. For the money they paid for Mbappe, they could have reinforced multiple positions and got a couple upcoming talents. Xabi would thrive. Mbappe may score but it’s not working in my opinion. Guler isn’t Kroos and Madrid fans need to see that. They need a better core midfield and defense

      You can analyse this match to death but let’s be honest, Real Madrid would have lost no matter what they did. They should focus on making themselves hard to beat first, they lack discipline and cohesion all over the pitch.

    18. @dellymathsconcepts8652 on

      Messi in his prime will walk but when given the ball he would run pass people and score!! Vini and mbappe are not that creative with the ball so they need to work hard off the ball..messi showed everytime that he walked for a golden reason. Mbappe n vini are not that good..they need to run for 90 minutes

    22. @hævngengældelse on

      i also want to congratulate and say fair play to ( el ral ) because he's spot on. the catalonia style of football clearly is next level dominance but Luis Enrique and this psg team have infused that style but with the tempo and pressing of Newcastle

      Sorry but this is turning into pure hatred against Mbappe. Why everyone seems to forget that Jude Bellingham, Vini Jr, Rudiger is still in that same team. People forget that Real madrid has no maestro in the midfield since Kros left and that Tchouameni and Valverde are actually playing 3 role rather than their actual position.

    26. @paulkaga6215 on

      Mbappé and Vinícius should never play at the same time until they truly understand what the role of a winger actually is. One should replace the other until they realize that their job isn’t just to wait for the ball in the opponent’s box.

      A winger is, first and foremost, a player who defends, presses, and helps build up play from two-thirds of the pitch. They are not static forwards whose sole purpose is to score goals. As long as they’re not running, pressing, or tracking back to defend, they should stay on the bench for the full 90 minutes.

      These two players urgently need to change their attitude and mindset. Real Madrid is not a team of individual stars. It’s a collective built on players willing to sacrifice personal glory to serve the group. If they’re not prepared to make
