Ancelotti addresses Mbappe's struggles at Real Madrid following Liverpool defeat

Carlo Ancelotti stated that Kylian Mbappe is experiencing a "difficult moment" at Real Madrid, citing a lack of confidence after missing a penalty in a recent match against Liverpool. Mbappe has scored nine goals in 18 appearances since joining Madrid. Ancelotti emphasized the need to support Mbappe, who has struggled in the Champions League, scoring only once in five games. Real Madrid currently ranks 24th in the new league format, with the top eight teams advancing to the knockout stage. Liverpool's victory marked a significant achievement for new coach Arne Slot, as he became the first to defeat Real Madrid in the Champions League. Liverpool remains unbeaten this season and leads the group standings.
