'Mbappe Looks Scared In A Real Madrid Shirt'

A former Real Madrid star claims Kylian Mbappe looked scared when he took the penalty against Liverpool.

The Frenchman had a disappointing evening as Los Blancos suffered a 2-0 defeat to the Reds as their UEFA Champions League struggles continued.

Former Madrid midfielder Guti says the World Cup winner lacks confidence while struggling to adapt to a club as big as Los Blancos.

"I think Mbappe has not been up to par, obviously. That's the reality," Guti said on El Chiringuito.

"We would all like to know what is happening to Mbappe. He looks lacking in confidence, shy. Moments before taking the penalty he looked scared. In that sense he is certainly not happy with his performance and wants something more.

"To that you add the fact that Real Madrid fans were eagerly awaiting him and that he has left his PSG bubble a little bit, where he had everything under control.

"Mbappe has now joined another team where he will surely have to compete with great players to be the best, and all that costs. And the Real Madrid shirt costs, and that is normal. It is difficult to think that a player can adapt so quickly and so soon to a club like Real Madrid, where it is very difficult to play.

"Taking him off would be the worst remedy, but he does have to be protected. And that's why he's at the best club. Florentino Perez, the club and [Carlo] Ancelotti are going to protect him because we all believe in him. I believe in him. The easy thing is to criticise and say that he's not worth it, but Mbappe is one of the best players in the world."
