I wish all Real Madrid fans can understand this so that they can reduce the too much hype on Mbappe, and to also reduce their expectations on him because he is not Ronaldo and it will take him some time to adapt to the whole thing in the team so as to expect the best from him.
The left wing in Madrid is very competitive, Vini Jr played that wing and he is one of the best left wingers in the world, it will not be easy for Mbappe to take over his place that is why Ancelotti decided to be playing Mbappe as a striker which has been a very hard task for him because it is not his natural position.
Barcelona under Hensi Flick is doing great, they outshine Real Madrid this season with their amazing performances, the young boys were very promising, and they are playing to win the Laliga as well even though it is too early and experience matters a lot in the run. Injury is the main problem Madrid is facing right now, and if it continue, there will be problem along the line because there is no squad depth.
In fact, Real Madrid and Barcelona have the same problem in terms of injuries, Ancelotti and Hansi Flick have not been able to field their best squad from the start of the season. Regarding Mbappe, I think it's just a matter of time, and it must be admitted that it is not easy to play in a different position from the main position. In his last season at PSG, Luis Enrique often played Mbappe as a center forward, it was proven that the player was able to complete his duties well. Mbappe only needs a little time to explore the role while adapting to the team, sooner or later he will be sharp again as usual. Barcelona should not be arrogant at this time, they must remain vigilant in every match, because they are only 3 points behind Real Madrid. Hansi Flick managed to boost Barcelona's performance quickly, he did his job well even though he did not have a good squad like Real Madrid. Real Madrid's unstable performance should be an advantage for Barcelona to continue to lead the standings.
