Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé has shared his initial thoughts on the team's performance this season. The French star believes the 'Royal Club' started the season well but failed to maintain consistency in the second half of the year.
With two rounds remaining in La Liga, it is certain that Real Madrid will finish the championship in second place. In the Champions League, the Madrid side exited the competition in the quarter-finals. This is considered an unsuccessful result for the club.
In his comments to AS, Mbappé noted that the team was in good form at the beginning of the season in both the Spanish league and on the European stage. However, a decline in Real Madrid's play was observed after the new year, and the team lost its style at a crucial moment.
"I think we started the season well: both in La Liga and the Champions League, but after the new year, we lost everything. That's life. We are very sad," said Mbappé.
The French forward stated that the team had a specific structure and style of play, but that system later fell apart. In his opinion, finishing a season without trophies is a very difficult situation for a player.
"I have the feeling that we had a structure, a style of play, and we lost it. For a player, finishing a season without trophies is very hard. Winning nothing..." he added.
These words from Mbappé signal that serious analysis of the season's end will begin within Real Madrid. Because a trophy-less season is not accepted as normal at the Madrid club. Every result, every defeat, and every lost opportunity is discussed separately here.
The French footballer emphasized that the fans' dissatisfaction and criticism must also be understood. He said the team must accept these opinions, draw conclusions from mistakes, and return to rectify the situation next season.
"We have to learn to accept people's dissatisfaction, listen to criticism, and return with the intention of fixing everything next season," said Mbappé.
In short, Mbappé gave an open and painful assessment of Real Madrid's season. The start was good, but the finish did not go as expected. Now, Madrid needs conclusions, not excuses. A trophy-less season is a signal for Real Madrid, and an opportunity for Mbappé to respond stronger next year.
