Kylian Mbappé did not hide behind excuses after Real Madrid suffered a shocking 4-2 defeat in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday night. The French superstar delivered a brutally honest assessment of his team’s performance, admitting that Madrid fully deserved to lose due to their lack of consistency and poor display on the pitch.
Speaking after the match, Mbappé said, “We deserved to lose. It was not a good performance. We are too inconsistent.” His words reflected the frustration felt by fans and pundits alike, as the Spanish giants once again failed to impose their authority on the European stage.
Real Madrid, known for their legendary Champions League mentality, were exposed defensively and struggled to control the tempo of the game. Despite moments of individual brilliance, the team appeared disjointed and vulnerable, conceding four goals in a match that underlined their growing problems this season.
Mbappé went further in his criticism, highlighting that inconsistency is unacceptable for a club with Madrid’s ambitions. “We can’t keep being this inconsistent. We can’t keep doing this day-on, day-off thing. It’s not what champions do,” he added.
