Part 4/6:
Kylian Mbappé: The Emerging Star
Transitioning to Kylian Mbappé, we find a player in a different stage of his career, navigating the expectations of performing with Real Madrid. While he’s posting solid numbers—33 goals and 5 assists in 46 matches—his season has been marked as “good” rather than “great.”
Mbappé’s adaptation to a team culture that celebrates multiple stars has somewhat diminished his individual shine. Unlike at PSG, where he was often the focal point, at Real Madrid, he sometimes plays more of a supporting role, showcasing his versatility but missing out on being the definitive main man. This season, while still contributing positively, he has not had the transformative impact many anticipated when he joined the team.
