Real Madrid face a mounting crisis as Kylian Mbappé’s five-game goal drought and a shock 2-1 defeat to Mallorca have left them trailing leaders Barcelona by seven points.
Real Madrid’s domestic campaign has faltered following a surprise 2-1 loss to relegation-threatened Mallorca.
The defeat leaves the gap to Barcelona at seven points with only eight matches remaining. Compounding the misery, Kylian Mbappé has now failed to score in his last five appearances, equaling his longest drought since joining the club.
Concerns are mounting ahead of Tuesday’s Champions League quarter-final against Bayern Munich.
The French forward’s lack of form coincides with a period where “Al-Meringi are struggling at this crucial stage of the season.”
Physical and tactical questions are being raised after Mbappé “failed the test” against Mallorca’s disciplined defense.
With the European showdown against Bayern looming, Carlo Ancelotti must find a way to reignite his star’s scoring touch to save Madrid’s season from a total collapse.
