Chris Sutton Criticizes Mbappé After Real Madrid’s Loss to Liverpool
Former Premier League striker Chris Sutton has criticized Kylian Mbappé’s performance following Real Madrid’s 2-0 defeat to Liverpool in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
The French forward had the chance to equalize for Real Madrid from the penalty spot in the second half, with the Reds leading 1-0, but his attempt was saved by Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher.
Although Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah also missed a penalty earlier in the match, the home team extended their lead when Cody Gakpo scored from a corner.
Sutton, speaking on BBC Radio 5 Live after the game, expressed his concerns about Mbappé’s struggles in his debut season at Real Madrid.
He pointed out that the 25-year-old was far from his usual self in this match.
“At the moment, something seems to be missing for Kylian Mbappé at Real Madrid, and that’s going to be a real puzzle for Carlo Ancelotti,” Sutton said.
“Let’s be honest, he had a terrible game tonight. He missed the penalty and was nowhere near his best.
The idea of him joining Real Madrid was to elevate the team to the next level, but it hasn’t quite clicked for him yet.”
Mbappé’s move to Madrid was seen as a significant moment for the club, with many expecting him to be the catalyst for Real Madrid’s next era of dominance, both domestically and in Europe.
However, his start at the club has been far from smooth.
Despite his immense talent and potential, he has faced challenges adjusting to the team’s dynamics and has yet to fully replicate the form that made him one of the best players in the world during his time at Paris Saint-Germain.
Former English footballer, Jamie Redknapp, makes bold suggestion regarding Mohamed Salah to leave the club, Liverpool.
The suggestion came after Liverpool manager Arne Slot criticized the player — a move Redknapp called out following Salah’s benching in the last match.
The former player shared “I don’t necessarily think in January. I just think we have got to let this settle. But I don’t foresee that he will see out the two years of his contract. I think it might be more in the summer.”
Arsenal football manager Mikel Arteta speaks on the team’s defeat against Aston Villa, 2–1, in their match on Saturday.
It can be recalled that Aston Villa scored a goal in the first half, but Arsenal scored back in the second half. After equalizing, Aston Villa scored another goal.
“In the first half we had moments, obviously had the best chance after a foul on Riccy [Calafiori] that Watkins goes through,” Arteta said.
“In the second half we started really well. Scored a goal and we were really dominant.”
Former Liverpool player, Jamie Carragher, speaks on Arsenal’s next match and claims that their game against Aston Villa will be challenging and described it as a test for the team to see how well they perform.
“Arsenal have looked the best team in the league by a long way so far this season, but Man City are still only five points behind.
There’s a long way to go and Arsenal will need to keep their heads! It could be tested tomorrow against Aston Villa!!”
