MARCA Blunt Commentary: Mbappé is the Only Real Madrid Forward Without a League Goal, Reigning Champions Sound Alarm

In the third round of La Liga, Real Madrid drew 1-1 away with Las Palmas, securing only one victory in the first three rounds. Post-match, MARCA commented on Mbappé’s performance, noting that as the only forward among Real Madrid’s forwards who has not yet opened his scoring account in La Liga, Mbappé and Real Madrid are together in trouble.

The commentary pointed out that for Real Madrid after Mbappé’s arrival, this is not the league start people expected. Real Madrid did not perform well, and the superstar was unable to make an impact, as both Mbappé and Real Madrid fell into difficulty together. Just three rounds in, Ancelotti’s team is already four points behind Barcelona, allowing the latter to establish a points advantage after a clean sweep. A four-point gap is not large, and the league has just begun, but a gap is a gap, and Real Madrid’s first alarm has sounded – there will be no more room for error for the team going forward.

After winning the UEFA Super Cup, Real Madrid seemed to lose its excitement. Two poor performances against Mallorca and Las Palmas, and two poor results. The difficulties Real Madrid faced in the league were reflected in Mbappé. The problem for Real Madrid at the beginning of the season in the league is the lack of goal-scoring ability, and Mbappé did not help the team solve this issue. In fact, he is the only forward for Real Madrid who has not scored in the league. Rodrygo scored in the first round, Brahim and Endrick broke the net in the second round, and Vinicius scored in the third round. But the French superstar, after scoring in his debut in the UEFA Super Cup, is still waiting for his first league goal.

Of course, MARCA still acknowledged Mbappé’s desire to score, pointing out that: Mbappé, who has gone three games without a goal, worked very hard in the match against Las Palmas. In fact, he tested goalkeeper Cillessen several times. He has played four matches for Real Madrid, taken 20 shots, eight of which hit the target, but only one goal.
