Kylian Mbappé’s performance was far from interesting against Athletic Bilbao. Always making the wrong decisions, the French forward frustrated Jude Bellingham, who did not hide his emotions in a filmed sequence that is circulating on social media.
Jude Bellingham is not the type to hide his emotions. As one of the few players continuing to do good things this season despite the critical form of the team under Carlo Ancelotti, the English midfielder has been genuinely frustrated in recent weeks. Still influential in the match of the 19th round of La Liga against Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday evening, the former Borussia Dortmund player showed his full support for Kylian Mbappé after he missed a penalty that would have done the Real Madrid team a lot of good.
The sequence that shows Bellingham’s frustration
However, during this match, which ended in a 2-1 defeat, Jude Bellingham did not hide his frustration with the French star in the second half. Still making poor choices, Kylian Mbappé, who was positioned on the left wing and supposed to bring attacking thrust, wasted several goal-scoring opportunities. As shown in a sequence from this match, where he chose to dribble and force his way into the penalty area instead of crossing, KM9 sparked Bellingham’s anger.
With big gestures, the Madrid number 5 clearly indicated that his French teammate, who is far from being in form, should opt for simpler actions rather than trying to perform like a Vinicius Junior, who is clearly superior technically. Throughout the match against Nico Williams’ team, the former PSG player, who has received support from Didier Drogba, lost a considerable amount of balls trying to execute technical moves he does not fully master.
Mbappé’s worrying future in La Liga
Arriving in a league where the players are clearly of a higher standard than those in French Ligue 1, the captain of the French national team has been unable to make the difference with his strengths. Currently struggling to adapt to the number 9 role, the player who will celebrate his 26th birthday in a few days will have to work hard to improve his game. Otherwise, at this rate, things are unlikely to improve, as it is clear that Real Madrid cannot rely on him in major matches. Today, everyone is eagerly awaiting the return of Vinicius Junior.
It is not Jude Bellingham who should be opposed to the quick return of the Brazilian winger, who is clearly the key specialist on the left. It is worth noting that after the lost match against Athletic Bilbao, the English midfielder did not hide his bad mood on the way back, as indicated by images from the media outlet El Chiringuito TV.
