Real Madrid has fallen short so far this season, and so has their greatest addition, Kylian Mbappe. And while Los Blancos got a chance to catch up with the table-toppers Barcelona, thanks to the Catalans’ three-game winless run in La Liga, their position in the Champions League is still far from expected. Subsequently, the Frenchman netted in the domestic league against Leganes, but ruined everything three days later, missing a vital penalty against Liverpool in the UCL derby.⚪Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti speaks on Mbappe’s challenges in the club📣”The problem that Mbappe has is the problem that we all have. We [Real Madrid] are searching to find our best version. Me and my players. The problem is with the team not individual players”💯✔️ pic.twitter.com/Vs4Z3wyNNk— Sport Trends247 (@SportTrends247) November 30, 2024 Yet, for Carlo Ancelotti, it’s not solely about Mbappe – it’s about the entire team.”His problem is everyone’s problem. The problem is not with one player, but with a team that has not been able to have continuity or get the best out of itself. It’s not an individual problem for a player who is new, who is adapting, has scored goals and has participated in the attacking play with assists. He can do better, like all of us,” said the Italian at the press conference ahead of Madrid’s today’s duel against Getafe (18.15).Saving private Kylian: Madrid ‘hires’ Zizou to help MbappeMoreover, Carletto shifts the focus from the missed spot-kick to the necessary support Mbappe needs at the moment.”He is aware that he has to do better and he will try, like everyone else. The Liverpool game is centred on him because he missed the penalty, but many have missed a penalty, and we have to try to continue supporting [him] and think that it is a collective problem,” he stated.Superman has become Ordinaryman – where did Mbappe’s magic disappear?Madrid’s boss will be forced to mix things up today against the city rivals, as he’ll miss a significant number of players. Apart from the long-injured David Alaba, Dani Carvajal, and Eder Militao, Ancelotti won’t have Vinicius Junior and Eduardo Camavinga at his disposal either, meaning that Brahim Diaz and possibly even Arda Guler or Dani Ceballos can hope for a place in the XI. The good news for Los Blancos is that Aurelien Tchouameni is ready to play, while Rodrygo is still questionable.LA LIGA – MATCHDAY 15Friday Mallorca – Valencia 2-1 (1-1)/Larin 45+3, Prats 81 – Rioja 32 pen/SaturdayBarcelona – Las Palmas 1-2 (0-0)/Raphinha 61 – Ramirez 49, Silva 67/Alaves – Leganes 1-1 (0-0)/Vicente 88 – Rodriguez 67/Espanyol – Celta 3-1 (1-0)/Cardona 40, Cabrera 53, Cheddira 87 – Aspas 83 pen/Valladolid – Atl.Madrid 0-5 (0-3)/Lenglet 26, Alvarez 35, De Paul 37, Griezmann 52, Sorloth 90+2/Sunday 16.00: (1.95) Villareal (3.60) Girona (4.20)18.15: (1.40) Real Madrid (4.40) Getafe (9.00)20.30: (2.90) Rayo Vallecano (3.00) Ath.Bilbao (2.70)23.00: (1.80) Sociedad (3.60) Betis (5.10)Monday 23.00: (2.15) Sevilla (3.30) Osasuna (3.50)***odds are subject to change***
