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.
Coventry City manager, Frank Lampard, speaks on team player and states how the player’s stance will help the team get into the Premier League.
The player is revealed to be Onyeka who he spoke about in the recent interview.
“He brings a different quality and probably a different profile to the midfield players we have.
“As I say, the profile is slightly different and I think that helps us in terms of the options and the competition in the middle of the park for us.”
Arsenal coach, Mikel Arteta, after their last match, shares an update on the injured team members after their last match.
He shared an update on Saka and stated that he is doing better after going through a hip injury. “His hip is improving a lot. Hopefully, he’ll be ready soon.”
He added about the other team members: “Martin is getting better and will be back in a few days, and Jurrien is fit for the weekend.”
Super Eagles footballer, Alex Iwobi, speaks on the World Cup and reveals their hope to play in the 2026 World Cup.
He shared that the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) is hopeful about hearing from them after they submitted a petition against the Democratic Republic of Congo.
“I mean we’re still waiting, well hopefully we can go to the World Cup, but I feel it’s a tough one.
“It’s a tough one because winning AFCON is like… It’s a great legacy, it’s a great thing to have in your career, a memorable moment. But then at the same time, because I’ve been to the World Cup already, a lot of the players haven’t been.”
