Not long ago, the streets of Madrid celebrated the arrival of Kylian Mbappe from PSG after a run that didn't last long.
The Frenchman arrived at Real Madrid amidst the hype and was seen as the star player who could take the UEFA Champions League-winning side to new heights.
Little more than three months after his arrival, the situation has turned around and he is already caught as the main problem in the car of Carlo Ancelotti. What is more interesting is that many predicted the current situation before his signing.
Mbappe has had enough
Back-to-back defeats in El Clasico and against AC Milan left the Whites red-faced and Mbappe was declared one of the most disappointing players in both games. After all, the player had the worst start to a season in his history with only eight goals in 15 games, a good number of which came from the penalty spot.
The biggest obstacle to Mbappe's seamless integration has been the presence of Vinicius Jr as the team's left winger, a position the World Cup winner considers his home. The two stars being inevitable, Ancelotti had to deploy Mbappé as a center-forward.
Now, according to reports from SPORT, the player is already tired of playing as a striker for Los Blancos and feels that his productivity is hindered by the tactical maneuver.
With less space to attack and Real Madrid's struggles to create opportunities from midfield, the youngster is frustrated and wants to move back to the left wing. But that's not an option, as Ancelotti and Florentino Perez still opt for Vinicius instead.
As the media adds, it is not the first time that the striker has met with a teammate for a place on the field, since his current situation reminds what he had with Neymar Jr in PSG.
However, on this occasion, the Brazilian was repeatedly injured and therefore gave Mbappé a regular role on the left wing. In the end, however, the club was forced to sell Neymar to clear the dust.
Mbappe and those around him are seriously worried about his situation at the club, especially when most of the blame is placed on the player. After all, it is no secret that the winger does not bring much to the defense and that upon his arrival he destabilized the structure of the team. Also, the move of Rodrygo to the bench and Jude Bellingham below hindered the attacking momentum of the team.
