Real Madrid fans tore Kylian Mbappe to shreds as the forward saw his dreadful penalty saved by Liverpool’s Caoimhin Kelleher in the Champions League.
The night ended in disappointment for Los Blancos as Liverpool emerged victorious by a 2-0 margin, deepening the Spanish side’s woes in the Champions League.
Alexis Mac Allister found the breakthrough in the 52nd minute but Real Madrid had a chance to equalise shortly after when Andy Robertson brought down substitute Lucas Vazquez in the penalty box.
However, Mbappe’s attempt from the spot lacked conviction and was saved by Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher.
Real Madrid supporters voiced their frustration with Mbappe on social media, whose recent form has drawn criticism.
What The Fans Are Saying
One X user, @LibanLDN remarked, “Sums up Mbappe’s night and season so far. He’s making a free transfer seem like a waste of money.”
@TheEuropeanLad wrote: “People tried to move Kylian Mbappé into GOAT lists, btw. Get out of here.”
@views09 compared Mbappe to Eden Hazard: “Who is the worst signing in Madrid history? Kylian Mbappe or Eden Hazard.”
While @MadridArchives wrote: “Mbappe can’t score. Mbappe can’t dribble.
“He can’t make a simple pass. Mbappe loses 90% of the duels.
“He is literally a liability. The sooner we bench him for Endrick the better.”
Whereas @LFCTransferRoom trolled by saying: “Conor Bradley turned Kylian Mbappe into ‘Raygun’ 👀”
Mbappe’s penalty miss has highlighted a broader issue with Real Madrid’s recent performances, which have been plagued by inconsistency and a lack of clinical finishing.
For Mbappe, the pressure to deliver is mounting, with fans expecting him to live up to his reputation as one of the world’s best players.
The defeat marked Real Madrid’s third loss in their last five league-phase matches, leaving the team in a precarious position.
They currently sit 24th in the standings, just two points above the relegation zone.
With only three games remaining in the group stage, time is running out for Madrid to salvage their campaign.
