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 footballer Zlatan Ibrahimovic speaks on the World Cup and shares his thoughts on who could possibly win the FIFA World Cup 2026.
He spoke about the players who are performing really well and carrying their teams.
“Harry Kane, he did three things. Two goals and one run he did. We talk about Messi for Argentina, France with Mbappe, but they have other superstars also. Sir Harry Kane is England, and the way he performed today, he needs to continue like that if this England is going to have a chance.”
Morocco coach Mohamed Ouahbi speaks on the Netherlands’ elimination from the World Cup.
The coach explained why the team was eliminated. “Morocco has gained everybody’s respect now,” Ouahbi said, adding: “It’s not because of what we’ve said. We’ve now shown it.
“We completely dominated a Netherlands team. We had 70% possession, more shots and more expected goals. We controlled the match. We wanted to stay calm, play our game and believe that if it went to penalties, we had an exceptional goalkeeper. We didn’t turn the match into a chaotic battle. We controlled it.”
Nigerian footballer and former captain William Troost-Ekong revealed the standout player for him in the South African team during this World Cup.
He shared that Mbekezile Mbokazi really stood out in the World Cup match against Canada.
Despite their loss, he praised the team’s performance. “It speaks volumes that Mbokazi [Mbekezile] was the best player on the South African team. I believe Okon also had considerable possession of the ball.”
