Kylian Mbappe faces backlash after poor performance in Real Madrid's loss to Liverpool

Kylian Mbappe faced heavy criticism after Real Madrid's 2-0 loss to Liverpool in the Champions League. He missed a penalty and struggled against Liverpool's defense, leading to a flurry of memes mocking his performance, particularly after a fall caused by Virgil van Dijk. Fans compared Mbappe's fall to Olympic breakdancer RayGun, with various social media accounts joining in on the jokes. Spanish media described his performance as a "true nightmare," suggesting it reinforced the coaching staff's preference for Vinicius Jnr in the left-wing position. Mbappe received a low rating of two out of ten from L'Equipe, reflecting the disappointment in his display. The match marked another setback for Real Madrid in European competition.
