Real Madrid has enlisted the help of club legend Zinedine Zidane to address Kylian Mbappe’s underwhelming start to the 2024/25 season. The French superstar has struggled to find his groove, scoring just two goals since September.
Mbappe’s struggles were highlighted during Real Madrid’s 2-0 Champions League defeat to Liverpool at Anfield, where he missed a crucial penalty. Despite being restored to his favored left-wing position, the World Cup winner has yet to deliver the explosive performances expected of him.
Head coach Carlo Ancelotti has remained supportive, expressing confidence in the 24-year-old’s ability to turn things around. “Sooner or later, he’ll come good,” the Madrid boss assured, emphasizing patience and trust in his star forward.
In a bid to reignite Mbappe’s form, Real Madrid has turned to Zidane for mentorship. The iconic Frenchman, who is both a former player and manager of the club, holds a special place in Mbappe’s career. Zidane is not only Mbappe’s idol but was instrumental in his move to the Bernabeu.
Drawing from his own experiences at Real Madrid, where he initially faced similar pressures, Zidane is uniquely positioned to guide Mbappe through this challenging period. According to Football Espana, Zidane has been tasked with mentoring the forward to help him rediscover his confidence and brilliance.
Real Madrid is optimistic that Zidane’s influence can unlock the creativity and sharpness that made Mbappe one of the world’s most coveted players. The collaboration between the two French icons is seen as a pivotal move to help the team regain momentum this season.
With Zidane’s guidance and Ancelotti’s tactical support, the club remains hopeful that Mbappe will soon deliver the standout performances that have made him a global superstar. Fans eagerly await the results of this partnership, confident it will bring the spark back to both Mbappe’s game and Real Madrid’s campaign.
