Madrid journey this season is not in accordance with the expectations that many people expect, the arrival of star players like Mbappe actually gives a lot of new problems to their current front line, I think even compared Mbappe, last season Joselu can still be expected when the crisis in the Madrid front line occurs although he is often on the bench, although Madrid still has a chance in the league but Ancelotti has to work hard to find the right solution at this time to Maximizing the potential that Mbappe has, I think previously Madrid only had problems with their defense this season, but after watching their match against Liverpool in the UCL, I started to think that Madrid have a very complex problem in their squad although they have Mbappe at the moment.
Yeah because Joselu wasn't really expected to do much, he was a proper striker and he was used on games when they needed some scoring, he was mostly at the bench after a while, and only subbed in for some offensive help, and sometimes he did help. Mbappe on the other hand is a superstar, he is expected to do a lot, and he is given the ball a lot more as well so he has to do something to change the score. When the game was just 1-0, he took the penalty and could have made it 1-1 but ended up failing to score, which resulted with a lot worse aftermath for the team.
Thankfully Salah missed his penalty too but that wasn't really the case when Mbappe was taking his, he wouldn't know, he had to score that, even 2-1 could have been easier to recover from. In the end, Joselu wouldn't even have taken the penalty, someone else would have which goes to show you that Mbappe is expected to do a lot more so even if he does better than Joselu, he is still doing worse than what is expected of him.
