Kylian Mbappe has openly discussed his difficult start at Real Madrid, where he felt he couldn't perform to expected levels despite his goal-scoring. The 26-year-old acknowledged hitting 'rock bottom' after missing two penalties in one week. He reflected on his initial struggles by emphasizing the importance of mentality and humility when joining a prestigious club like Madrid. Mbappe's adaptation to a new playing style alongside stars like Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo remains a work in progress, as he reconciles his expectations with the realities of team dynamics.
A player always wants more, for me and for the team, so when you don't do that, it's normal it impacts you.
I needed to do more, I knew that. It was a moment when I said, 'Come on, this is the time to change. You have not come to Madrid to play badly'.
