But this is too superficial if we want to discuss Mbappe's performance in the last few months. He has scored some penalties included in those 8 goals, which is fine, but Real Madrid needs him to score goals apart from penalties. That is what he is known for. He scores when the opponents expect it the least. The numbers aren't bad, but this is like looking at the numbers when a striker scored 5 goals in 1 game and then doesn't score the next 4 games. He then averages 1 goal per game, but is it good for the team? I doubt it. He doesn't show up enough in the important games and now that you mention these numbers, where does Real Madrid need him to score the most? In the Champions League, but in that competition he rarely scores. I think 1 goal so far and this is the reason why they are where they are in the table.
The problem here is just that Kylian Mbappe has not been able to live up to the expectations of the Madrid fans who are looking up to the french man to give more than 100% performance whenever he is playing for Madrid, since his arrival at Madrid, he has missed more chances than he has converted for the club and the fans are not quite happy with his performance, especially now that their hench Man, Vinicius Jnr is out injured, and the fact that most of the goals that Mbappe has scored from the penalty spot is close to that which he has converted during open play is another cause for concern for the fans which also reduces the credibility of the player.
