It's very disappointing to see Mbappé's performance. Especially, when He lay on the pitch after he missed Modrić's pass. He hasn't looked like the best in the world in months since he came to Madrid. He looked so different compared to what he was at PSG. It seems La Liga is too difficult for him. I don't wanna see him finished early, but if he keeps showing the same performance, I think he's finished.
For me, Mbappé was always overrated. It's odd to see people talk about him like he is some kind of Messi or Ronaldo. he has so many flaws he never fixed.
Yes, Mbappe had a mediocre 71 minutes against Villarreal (0 shots on target, 5 failed dribbles out of 7 total). It is possible that Mbappe has not fully recovered from the injury sustained in the Madrid derby. He may have not yet adapted to the right-sided striker's game when coach Ancelotti unexpectedly switched to a 4-4-2 in the next match against Villarreal. Mbappe is still far from what people expected of him.
But even though he didn't score, Mbappe still made moves to create space and attract opposing defenders, contributing to the team's overall victory.
People expect too much from Mbappé. He can never reach the level of Messi or Ronaldo. If Mbappé continues to not correct his shortcomings, age will take away his speed. And he will become like any other mediocre player.
