Who Made the Biggest Career Mistake: Kylian Mbappe Whirls in a Vortex of Failures

Kylian Mbappe departed "PSG" for "Real Madrid" and faced difficulties and criticism in his new environment.

"France" superstar Kylian Mbappe has faced scrutiny for allegedly making the "biggest mistake of his life," according to a prominent Spanish figure. The 25-year-old forward left "Paris Saint-Germain" when his contract expired in the summer, joining "La Liga" giants "Real Madrid" on a free transfer.

A previous move to "Real Madrid" had fallen through, although it always seemed inevitable that he would eventually sign for the Spanish side. Last season, Mbappe confirmed he would be departing "PSG". He was linked with several "Premier League" clubs, but "Real Madrid" remained his most probable next destination.

Mbappe, a nascent Ballon d’Or winner, has endured a challenging commencement at the Madrid club. The striker has scored ten goals and provided two assists in 19 outings across all competitions for "Real Madrid". However, manager Carlo Ancelotti has struggled to strike the right balance, given the similarities between Mbappe and Vinicius Junior.

Last week, an injury-riddled "Real Madrid" was bested 2-0 by "Champions League" leaders "Liverpool" at Anfield. In truth, Arne Slot's side could and perhaps should have won more comfortably as they missed numerous opportunities.

During this defeat, a penalty from Mbappe was saved by "Liverpool" goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher, and "Real Madrid" legend Guti commented that the Frenchman appeared to lack confidence, describing him as shy. He highlighted that "Mbappe is not up to par, evidently" and expressed curiosity about his current state.

Moments before taking the penalty against "Liverpool", he seemed frightened and is undoubtedly dissatisfied with his performance. His move to "Real Madrid" has not afforded him the opportunity for swift adaptation to the club, renowned for its demanding atmosphere.

French presenter Cyril Hanouna, understood to have a positive rapport with "PSG" president Nasser Al-Khelaifi, asserted that Mbappe has made "the biggest mistake of his life" by heading to "Real Madrid". He contends that Mbappe should have stayed at "PSG" to win the "Championship", "Ballon d’Or", and become its leader.
