Cristiano Ronaldo's warning to Kylian Mbappe is ringing through the Santiago Bernabeu

Real Madrid striker Kylian Mbappé He did not have the dream to start his dream of playing for Los Blancos. Despite scoring 10 goals for Los Blancos, two missed penalties in three games are a clear demonstration of the fact that Mbappe is not only far from his best, but also lacking in confidence.

Mbappe has looked out of sorts since the beginning of the season, but in recent weeks, with the team in trouble, the French striker worries more Madridistas with every performance. In addition to missing at Anfield against Liverpool, and at San Mames against Athletic Club, Mbappe decided to give a penalty against Getafe on Sunday to Jude Bellingham instead of taking it himself.

This was painted as an “act of altruism” by Carlo Ancelotti, who “he very much appreciated”, but many in Spain accused the World Cup winner of shirking responsibility. On Thursday morning, after his miss against the Athletic cost Real Madrid a point, a clip of Cristiano RonaldoRio Ferdinand's interview has resurfaced. The Portuguese star talks about Mbappe's arrival at Real Madrid, and noted that dealing with the pressure at the Bernabeu is a completely different prospect than anywhere else.
