Kylian Mbappé is now more scrutinized than ever following his disappointing performance against Liverpool, which fell well below expectations. Guti recently commented on this situation.
Mbappé had the opportunity to prove himself after Vinícius was injured in a match of great importance. However, as has been the case at the start of this season, the Frenchman failed to meet the required standard, appearing lost, inaccurate, and lacking enthusiasm.
Mbappé seems to have reached his lowest level since joining Real Madrid, which prompted a strong reaction from Guti on the “El Chiringuito” program. The former Real Madrid player said: “Mbappé was not at the required level. He lacks confidence and seems shy.”
Mbappé faced a tough challenge at Anfield, where he was expected to step up and lead the team, a challenge he failed to overcome. Guti did not hesitate to analyze the situation, stating: “It is clear that he is the first one who is not happy with his performance. Playing for Real Madrid is difficult, and at this club, he also needs to learn how to defend.”
Guti also pointed out that Mbappé must improve several aspects of his game to meet the high expectations at Real Madrid. He urged Pérez to make a bold decision by selling the French star and signing Sporting Lisbon’s Swedish striker Viktor Guquéres, a player whom Guti believes Real Madrid needs more than Mbappé.
