Gareth Bale has backed Kylian Mbappe as the world’s best player “on his day,” despite the Frenchman’s disappointing display during Real Madrid’s 2-0 loss to Liverpool in the Champions League.
At Anfield, Mbappe struggled to make an impact and capped off his performance with a missed penalty, brilliantly saved by Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher.
Mbappe’s recent form has come under scrutiny, with just one goal in his last six games for Madrid. However, Bale remains confident in the forward’s abilities, emphasizing that even top players face difficult moments and that Mbappe’s talent will shine through soon.
Luka Modric and Dani Ceballos have also voiced their support for Mbappe, highlighting his hard work and potential. Modric noted that while things didn’t work out against Liverpool, the team remains confident in Mbappe’s ability to deliver.
Similarly, Ceballos acknowledged the challenges of adapting to a club like Real Madrid but expressed certainty that Mbappe will overcome his struggles and meet expectations.
Real Madrid will be hoping for a quick turnaround from their star player as the season progresses.
