It has been three weeks since the start of the La Liga season, and the obvious decline of Real Madrid players, including Mbappe, has caused a lot of criticism.
The third week of La Liga saw Real Madrid draw with Las Palmas, causing last season’s champions to lose four points at the start.
One of the highlights of this game was Mbappe’s failure to score again. As in the past two games, the French star was restricted by the defenders and he did not find a way to shoot in the few opportunities he had.
Although, in addition to Mbappe, other stars in Real Madrid’s attack line have also seen a significant decline, they (Vinicius, Rodrigo, Brahim Diaz and Andric) have all scored once in the league; in other words, Mbappe is the only offensive player in the Calleto team who has not yet scored in La Liga, despite having played the most games.
On the other hand, there was no sign of any coordination between Mbappe and Vinicius Junior. The two stars exchanged only 12 passes in the first game against Mallorca, and in the next two games against Valladolid and Las Palmas, this number was reduced to a strange 4 and 2. Opta statistics agency summarized Kylian Mbappe’s La Liga performance so far as follows:
