There has been a lot of scrutiny of Kylian Mbappe in the opening stages of this season. He failed to score in any of his opening three La Liga games, although he did make his UEFA Super Cup debut against Atalanta, while he also scored a brace in the last game of Real Madrid against Real Betis.
Speaking to NewBettingOffers.co.ukFormer footballer Chris Waddle believes the scrutiny on Mbappe is expected, given the status he holds. The 25-year-old's decision to join Real Madrid has also been questioned.
“He has great ability and I'm sure he will be a massive success at Real Madrid. He's a fantastic footballer and he's got the move he's always wanted. The expectations are massive, he's a superstar.
“I always thought it was a strange move, because he wants to play on the left wing and he will never play here at Real Madrid. They already have two wings who have done very well in recent years, Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo. I always thought they would pull him more to play on the left, but he played in the middle and he got out.”
Waddle expects Los Blancos to be a force once again this season, although the ongoing injury problems plaguing them could be devastating.
“This Real Madrid The team looks like it could be dominant in the Champions League. They are the team to beat in the League and in Europe. But if they suffer a few injuries, it could cost them.
