Despite Real Madrid’s hard-fought victory over Juventus, Kylian Mbappé was not satisfied with the team’s collective performance, as his disappointment was evident in his post-match comments. While Real Madrid had expected a comfortable win, the team failed to perform as anticipated against a weaker opponent, which has increased anxiety within the dressing room.
The Frenchman, who did not score in the match, expressed his deep dissatisfaction with coach Xabi Alonso’s tactical choices. According to Mbappé, pairing Aurélien Tchouaméni and Eduardo Camavinga in midfield was not ideal. While both players possess impressive physical abilities, they lack the creativity and playmaking skills necessary to organize the game in the same manner as Luka Modrić or Toni Kroos.

Mbappé had previously voiced his opinion, emphasizing that the team cannot play with this duo without a player capable of organizing the play and achieving the necessary offensive balance. This issue seemed to have impacted the team’s performance against Juventus. Although Jude Bellingham had a stronger showing, the team still needs a player capable of controlling the game more effectively.
With the upcoming El Clásico against Barcelona, this situation presents a significant challenge for Alonso, who may need to reconsider his tactical approach if he wants to avoid further negative surprises.
