Former Serbian national team forward and Real Madrid player Predrag Mijatović shared his thoughts on the issues facing the Madrid striker Kylian Mbappé.
“It’s important to consider that last year, when he decided not to extend his contract, he faced immense pressure in his hometown and country. A significant portion of the fans were against him. I believe this issue continues to affect him since last year; it’s not easy for such a young guy to handle that level of pressure.
It is true that he was not very good against Liverpool. However, from the very beginning, he came with a strong desire to succeed. Missing the penalty was a shock... I have no doubt he will return to his best form,” Mijatović said on Cadena Ser.
The 25-year-old Frenchman signed a contract with Real Madrid this summer after his agreement with PSG ended. Since then, Mbappé has played 18 matches for the Madrid team across all competitions, scoring nine goals and providing two assists.
