Mbappe does not suit with a striker position but Real Madrid hoped that he can adapt to this position with time. He did not do it well and Real Madrid starts to feel importance of a world class striker like Cristiano Ronaldo or Karim Benzema. Injuries also affected Real Madrid in defense system and in this match, they let AC Milan scoring three goals, it's big shock.
That is the major reason why he is currently struggling in the team, a change of position can affect the players abilities because he will not be familiar with his new role and his movements will all be different and adapting to the new role can be difficult for most players. Mbappe is a goal scorer but that doesn’t make him a striker and the sooner Ancellotti knows this the better. Mbappe and Vinicius are good from playing on the left wing and that is why they have moved Mbappe to play as a striker and clearly it’s not favoring the team i just hope they can change things as soon as possible.
Elsewhere Real Madrid and Manchester City back on their losing runs in the champions league and things are not looking good for the best teams in the world, and with how things are going these guys road could be coming to an end, and can't imagine a champions league without the best team in the world .
Its now 3 consecutive losses for Manchester City in all competitions, they lost to Tottenham, Bournemouth and now Sporting. It’s very bad for Guardiola and his team, no one knows where the problem is but they have actually dropped in performance they could lose their title if things continue this way but they are still in the title race.
It’s the story for Real Madrid they have lost 2 games consecutively and also lost their last 2 Champions League matches which makes everyone doubt their ability to win the Champions League this season again. The best teams are currently struggling but i am sure it won’t be for long.
