Kylian Mbappe endures miserable Real Madrid debut

Kylian Mbappe endured a poor La Liga debut with a lacklustre 1-1 away draw at RCD Mallorca on Sunday.

Mbappe failed to have an impact, looked isolated at times and is clearly still trying to build up chemistry with his teammates after he joined the club this summer.

His best moments came from the left wing – and he made some interesting runs – but never really got a chance to make something happen.

Mbappe was playing his first Spanish top-flight match for Real Madrid and was making his second appearance after scoring in the Super Cup win over Atalanta.

But it didn’t go to plan for Los Blancos as the champions of Spain and Europe were held to a frustrating 1-1 draw in their opening La Liga match of 2024-25.

Real Madrid manager Ancelotti revealed a ‘problem’ for his side as he faced questions from the media.

‘We lacked balance,’ Ancelotti said. ‘I am not happy with the draw because we could have done better.

‘We need more attitude. We can learn a lot from this game because it seems clear where we could have a problem.’
