Kylian Mbappe’s Struggles Continue as Real Madrid Falls to Arsenal

Kylian Mbappe’s recent struggles have coincided with Real Madrid’s Champions League exit at the hands of Arsenal.

The French forward failed to make a significant impact in both legs against the Gunners, and his recent form has raised concerns.

Mbappe’s Rare Drought

For the first time since 2018, Mbappe has gone five consecutive matches without scoring or assisting a goal.

This drought has contributed to Real Madrid’s disappointing performances, including their 2-1 loss to Valencia and the Champions League defeat to Arsenal.

Suspension and Injury Concerns

Mbappe’s red card in the weekend’s match against Alaves means he’ll miss the upcoming clash with Athletic Bilbao.

Additionally, he hobbled off the field with 15 minutes remaining in the Champions League match, although initial thoughts suggest he’ll be fit for the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona.

Can Mbappe Turn Things Around?

Despite the setbacks, Mbappe still has opportunities to salvage Real Madrid’s season.

With seven La Liga matches remaining and a four-point gap to leaders Barcelona, Real Madrid needs Mbappe to regain his form.

The Copa del Rey final could be a crucial chance for Mbappe to make an impact and potentially gain a psychological edge in the title race.
