Kylian Mbappe has opened up about his difficult start to life at Real Madrid, confessing that things couldn’t have gone any worse. The French forward, who joined Madrid on a free transfer in the summer, admitted to hitting “rock bottom” in December after missing two penalties in the space of a week.

Despite a respectable goal tally, Mbappe’s performances fell short of expectations, leading many to question whether he had actually weakened the team. However, the 26-year-old has since turned things around, and he attributes his resurgence to a change in mentality.

Mbappe revealed that he struggled to adapt to the team’s dynamics, particularly in a forward line that includes Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo. He confessed to overthinking his movements on the pitch, which affected his performance. However, with a newfound sense of humility and respect for the team’s legacy, Mbappe is determined to prove himself as a key player at the Santiago Bernabeu.
