Spanish press reports have revealed dramatic developments inside Real Madrid club, concerning French star Kylian Mbappe, who is suffering from a difficult period on both technical and psychological levels during the current season. This comes at a time when the team bid farewell to the Champions League competitions, and its chances of competing for the Spanish league title declined, sparking a wave of anger inside the club and negatively reflecting on the performance of many players, foremost among them Mbappe.

Criticism for Traveling to Italy

Criticism directed at Mbappe intensified after he traveled to Italy accompanied by his girlfriend at a sensitive time of the season. This step sparked widespread controversy in the Spanish media, which considered it inappropriate given the difficult circumstances the team is going through.

Isolation Inside the Dressing Room

The newspaper "Marca" confirmed that Mbappe is living a state of "isolation" inside the Real Madrid dressing room, as his relationships with a number of his teammates have declined recently. The newspaper added that the player is no longer the team's first star as expected, especially with the brilliance of the Brazilian Vinicius Junior, who has imposed himself strongly and delivered outstanding performances in recent matches.

Undeclared Struggle for Leadership

Reports indicated an undeclared struggle between Mbappe and Vinicius Junior over the team's leadership. However, the scales currently tip in favor of the Brazilian star, who has succeeded in gaining the trust of the technical staff and fans thanks to his distinguished performance.

Injuries Affect Performance

Mbappe has suffered from a series of injuries during the current season, as he was absent from the fields for 53 days, and missed participation in 10 matches. This has clearly affected his level and harmony with the team. Despite these challenges, the French star still tops the list of Real Madrid's top scorers with 41 goals, confirming his great attacking value despite the crises he is going through.
