Kylian Mbappe is still yearning for a Champions League trophy and the Ballon D’or
3 years later, In 2025 Kylian Mbappe is still yearning for a Champions League trophy and the Ballon D’or. Mbappe has not been able to showcase the World Cup version that everyone saw in 2022.

This season he moved to Madrid, to fulfill his life-long dream to play for the los Blancos after following his idol’s footsteps but he has failed to replicate either the performances or the bullet proof mentality that Cristiano Ronaldo was famous for.
He has been able to turn astound his start in the white jersey as his start to his Real Madrid career was abysmal. He looked like an outsider in the team and looked lost while playing as the number 9 of the team.
It took him 3-4 months to learn the nuances of as a striker

He is competing for the Pichichi award with Lewandowski in the Spanish league as he has scored 22 goals in La Liga but failed to influence the game today against Arsenal in the Champions League Quarter Final.
He left the game limping while being booed and jeered by the Real madrid fans
That might have been the occasion when the team needed him the most but he ghosted during the game and also incurred an ankle injury during the last minutes of the game as he left the game limping while being booed and jeered by the Real madrid fans who were present in the Santiago Bernabeu to witness a Remontada.

This injury is still to be assessed and a timeline will then be clear as to how much time will the recovery take and how serious it is. Real Madrid also play the Copa Del Rey Final against Barcelona within 10 days. It would have to be seen if he can play in the El Clasico or not.
