[Saba Sports News] Since his arrival at Real Madrid, Mbappe has been a dismal performer, a disappointment for both Real and Mbappe. Now, Mbappe’s form is so low that Real Madrid has had enough of it, and fans have even started to burn his shirt. Although this behavior is not worth advocating, it certainly shows that Mbappe has been in a crisis of confidence at Real Madrid. All indications are that if Mbappe continues to slump, Real Madrid is likely to choose to abandon him if they fail to win La Liga.

Judging from the choices made by both sides, there were strategic errors. Real overestimated Mbappe’s strength, especially in his ability to fit into the Real Madrid system. Mbappe’s team were overconfident about their performance in Ligue 1, ignoring that La Liga’s overall technical and tactical level was far superior to France’s. Obviously, incorporating French Ligue 1 data into the La Liga giants was a huge strategic blunder in itself.
There are now reports that Mbappe could return to Paris Saint-Germain. Because the status quo shows that the overall level of Ligue 1 is indeed lower than that of La Liga, where Mbappe can put up top numbers, but has failed to show dominance in La Liga. Greater Paris after the loss of Mbappe performance did not reach the previous level, this time the separation, looks more like a loselose result.
