I think it's all about time, Mbappe is a player who has very good individual qualities but every player who has just joined a new team certainly needs time to adapt, so does Mbappe now.
And Real Madrid's declining performance this season because many of their core players are injured certainly hinders Mbappe's process to be able to adapt and contribute greatly to the team.
I agree if it is said that Mbappe must work hard especially when the situation of the Real Madrid team is not good like now, Mbappe must be able to become a player who can change the situation.

Instead of Eder Militao, I think Real Madrid would be better off playing Lucas Vazquez in the full-back position because Vazquez has a character that is almost similar to Carvajal, and besides that, Eder Militao is no longer playing as well as before he was injured. For that reason, I feel that Tchouameni actually plays better than Militao when playing in the center back position.

Real Madrid is different from PSG, Mbappe is not like Ronaldo, he is still very far away. I think he has to be able to integrate with the team and play as a team. He has good ability, but in La Liga it has not been able to make him a big star. Another problem is that the team's current support is incomplete, many Madrid players are injured. So the team's support seems to be decreasing. I think Mbappe still has a lot of time to develop, he just went to La Liga and he will improve a lot.

If one or two players were injured then maybe the Real Madrid management would not have worried about this matter but most of the starting eleven players are injured which is definitely a concern for any team. Real Madrid's bench XI is good enough, but if six or seven players are given a chance to make the regular XI from the bench at once, it is unlikely to do well there. Real Madrid have a much stronger squad this season than the team that won the Champions League trophy last season but luck has not helped them here so even after building such a strong squad they are now thinking about which players to play in which positions and who will be allowed to play. All this is due to the injury problems of some key players.

Mbappe recent performances have led to growing frustration among fans and talk of a tactical change within the team even though Real Madrid have a comparatively higher number of star players than other teams. Carlo Ancelotti is currently in charge of the team but he is not able to make the team perform well. In July Mbappe was introduced to Real Madrid in an official introduction session and went on to make 11 appearances and score 7 goals, but former England coach Capello has advised Mbappe to work harder if he wants to score more goals in the coming matches. Capello previously coached Real Madrid for two seasons and knows Real Madrid very well. In an interview with a Spanish media outlet, he said that Mbappe along with his teammates, will have to work harder.

Mbappe is a professional player and there is no doubt about his abilities, but of course Mbappe really needs players who can work with him because of course if there are no teammates who can pass the ball well to Mbappe, of course that will make Mbappe's chances of scoring a goal slim.

But honestly, I believe that with Ancelotti's coaching, Real Madrid will definitely have great potential to improve their performance because Ancelotti will definitely not remain silent to make Real Madrid make a lot of progress. and I see that the Real Madrid players will all be reliable because according to what I remember, the existing players certainly cannot be underestimated.

In my opinion, Mbappe is still lucky to be at Real Madrid because his childhood dream of wanting to become a Real Madrid player has come true. This is indeed a tough situation for Mbappe, but I am sure Bellingham and his other friends definitely have great potential to overcome it. everything. Yes, currently Real Madrid is still not in its best condition, but yes, I can only hope that Vinicius and the others recover quickly from their injuries. In the next match, Real Madrid will face Celta and I am sure that in that match we will see Real Madrid's performance. Honestly, I believe that in this match Real Madrid has great potential to win.

A little disagree with some of these opinions.
Now we see how the current UCL match system and of course every coach and team must have a different strategy and defeat against Lille does not mean that Madrid will not be possible to win the title at UCL. All we have to see is how the end result of Madrid appearance in several matches to come.
And related to the attack line at this time does not mean blunt when the arrival of Mbappe but indeed the new player requires adaptation and if we talk about Belllingham, he actually does not experience a decline in performance but he just behaves more mature.
After the arrival of Mbappe, Belllingham only tried to succumb to continue to contribute to Mbappe and Vinic to get the results of the score for the team's victory. But even though the results are bad, it does not mean he doesn't have good performance but it's just that he is currently getting used to performing with quality players.
We'll see the final result whether Madrid is able to reach the final and my prediction Madrid will easily reach the final round at UCL.

There are eight Real Madrid players who are still injured including two goalkeepers and that really puts Real Madrid in a difficult condition because the team must be able to work hard before the eight players recover. As for Mbappe, he only needs players who can give him the best passes so that he can finish well into the opponent's goal in every match that is still there this season. If Mbappe doesn't get that, I don't think anyone should blame him for any reason because he also needs good teammates to pass to him every time there is an opportunity.

What is happening in Madrid at the moment is indeed beyond all of our expectations, previously after the arrival of Mbappe we all thought that we would see Madrid front line very productive because of the support of the best attacking attackers that exist today, but right now Madrid has not been able to show their toughness in La Liga after inconsistent performances in several matches,  But I think this is indeed undeniable because there has not been a very good chemistry between the frontline players so that we can see that there are often miscommunication wich that leads to wasted opportunities in their matches.
On the other hand, Barcelona, which we had previously underestimated after the change of coach and their financial problems have not been resolved, precisly is currently Barcelona under Hansi Flick is performing very solid and consistent, but I think it is too early for us to underestimate Madrid and favor Barcelona at the beginning of the season, because the course of the season is still very long, it actually allows many changes to occur later in the La Liga standings.

Eder Militao is far more likely to replace Carvajal because he indeed has the ability to play in that position but Ancelotti needs to see other figures so he can play in the real position. When facing Villareal Lucas Vázquez was put in the 90th minute and he played very well in these conditions. When viewed from his appearance in the match, it is appropriate for Lucas Vázquez to replace the role of Carvajal.

In the upcoming transfer window it requires an approach to recruiting new players in the position because if faced with conditions like now it will make it difficult for Real Madrid to compensate for several matches that will take place in La Liga and in the Champions League.

Having too many young talents that want to make a name for themselves is one of the problems that real madrid is currently facing. Jude Bellingham wants to score instead of creating the assists. Vinicius is also doing the same thing and then there's mbappe that wants everybody to pass the ball to him to score but they're not doing as he wish. The previous players had better understanding and knows what there roles were at the club. There's the manager to blame too as he's meant to coach every player to follow his own instructions and not do whatever they feel like doing. Modric was controlling the mid field for others to score and Jude Bellingham needs to do the same.

Vinicius shows this good attitude in his career but when he becomes a star player, he can change it with higher ego but so far so good. Mbappe is different because he was grown up in PSG where he got super lucrative salary and many privileges in that club. Big power as a star player in PSG destroys Mbappe by increasing his high ego, lifting his selfishness and he is no longer a player who is ready to cooperate with team mates in friendly team-working way.

From PSG to France and recent weeks in Real Madrid, Mbappe did not change this bad attitude that will be negative factor for his career in coming years. He need to change it to achieve more success in his career because having better team-working means he will receive more support from his team-mates.

I don't think Vinicius wants to look superior and that's how he's been playing all this time, even in some moments Vini always seems to be giving passes to Mbappe even though he's in a good position to penetrate. I think it's only a matter of time until the trio finds their chemistry. The only thing that is quite unfortunate is that Mbappe did not have the chance to experience a perfect pass from Toni Kroos, and their midfield is indeed very different after Toni Kroos retired.

Agree that there are indeed obstacles in the distribution of the ball to Mbappe when he is on the front lines. Maybe because of the Vinicius factor who still wants to be a little superior. I'm sure there will always be that desire from every player, especially Real Madrid, whose situation Mbappe relies on supply from Vinicius and Rodrygo, unfortunately it still hasn't gone well. The midfield after losing Kross is still insurmountable, Bellingham has not fully honed the accuracy in supplying the ball, so the flow of the ball from midfield is very limited. Modric doesn't always start and his duties are becoming fewer and fewer. And for Valverde we need a little more time.

Real Madrid have many good midfielders and at two swings, they have Vinicius and Rodrygo, one of best swing attacking players now. Losing Kroos can decrease attacking power of Real Madrid especially in their ball possession ability but Kroos with his old age, could not play stably with good performances in all matches. The last season is like magic one for Kroos but if he has been still in Real Madrid as a player, he would have performed terribly in this season. We can not certainly know about performances of old players and Kroos' ex-team mate in the midfield, Casemiro is good example of quick decrease in performances.

Ancelotti can handle this issue well and Real Madrid have their good strategy to replace important star players too. Their preparation started seasons ago with young players like Valverde, Camavinga and Tchouameni in their midfield.

If you are talking about support for the forward, then I have always said that Real was one of the best teams in this regard, by the way, things were definitely not worse in PSG. If you evaluate Real's midfield, they only lost Kroos, who ended his career, and if Ancelotti is so dependent on one player, then he should change something in the team, because, for example, Guardiola has lost very important players many times, but always found a way out of the situation.

Yes, left-back is still a headache for the Bernabeu team. It seems that this issue will not be resolved unless a new contract is signed. Although Ancelotti is renowned for his ability to make the most of the resources available. However, with the stability of arch-rivals Barcelona and the change in the Champions League format, Real Madrid certainly will not be able to sit still in the upcoming transfer windows. There may be some blockbuster deals this winter, but to optimize their purchases, they need to do some analysis and evaluation to find the names that best fit the team's current style of play. Coach Ancelotti is suffering the consequences of Real Madrid's frugal summer transfer spending, and now they must spend to defend their title against fierce competition from their rivals.

It is said to work alone it is also not entirely true because on several occasions the supply given from the midfield or from both sides that Madrid has is very good but indeed the chemistry that is still not strongly established makes sometimes there is a miss of communication that makes opportunities cannot be maximized optimally, but overall actually the situation in every match is a little stable and leads to good things.

As for the flow of the ball, Madrid did lose a little touch when Kroos wasn't in the squad but other than that I think with the determination of some players like Jude and Valverde who always seem to be luxurious in terms of speed and good mobility in attack and defense it is very good even though for Jude he looks more often trying to force difficult situations. Madrid now only need to maintain chemistry and of course the egos of the players in dribbling because if you look at some of the matches that took place, Madrid's young players are sometimes more concerned with their own egos in dribbling than giving space to other players which actually makes the quality of the attacking power that is already good a little hampered.

The defeat to Lille showed that their front line is not well coordinated, Real Madrid have also rarely managed big wins since Mbappe arrival. In the midst of the bluntness of the front line, Ancelotti is also faced with Bellingham's sharpness which is decreasing after last season he performed very extraordinarily and often became the hero of Real Madrid's victory. Injuries to several key players also pose another problem, I think Ancelotti must be able to make his squad always appear balanced in order to compete with Barcelona this season who have performed extraordinarily since being coached by Hansi Flick.
Yes, the winner of La Liga this season is still unclear, Barcelona are one step ahead based on their current form, but Real Madrid can still make a surprise if Ancelotti can overcome all the problems they are currently facing.

Real Madrid has been doing great this season as they have won most of their matches. Real Madrid have not lost a match in their last 5 matches whereas Barcelona have lost a match in their last five matches. According to the performance of the last five matches, Real Madrid is ahead. Real Madrid beat Villarreal 2-0 in their last match to secure second place in the standings.
Yes, Barcelona have been playing aggressively and consistently since the start of the 2024/25 season. We have seen them absolutely fail in the last few seasons but this time we are seeing them differently in La Liga. Maybe they have been able to improve themselves a lot especially now that Barcelona squad has changed by signing a few players in their squad during the transfer season. Football fans who have watched Barcelona play this season can expect Barcelona to be one of the contenders to win the La Liga title this season as they have already proven with their impressive performances against their opponents.
