Real Madrid squad’s ‘genuine opinions’ on Kylian Mbappé revealed following dressing room ‘leak’ ahead of Liverpool clash

The true sentiments of the Real Madrid squad toward Kylian Mbappé have surfaced ahead of their Champions League showdown with Liverpool.

Following a dramatic Champions League night where Manchester City squandered a 3-0 lead to draw with Feyenoord, the prestigious tournament resumes action on Wednesday.

The highlight of the evening is undoubtedly the clash between Liverpool and Real Madrid at Anfield, a game with major implications for both teams.

Ahead of the match, a reported leak from Real Madrid’s dressing room has shed light on the players’ opinions of Mbappé, who joined the club on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain in June.

According to Spanish outlet Relevo, Mbappé has earned the respect and approval of his teammates, despite coming in as the club’s highest earner. The French forward is described as cheerful, intelligent, and laid-back, and his presence has not caused friction within the squad.

However, while his personality is appreciated, the club is still waiting for him to regain the form that makes him a decisive match-winner. With star winger Vinícius Jr. sidelined, Madrid players reportedly hope that Wednesday’s clash with Liverpool will ignite Mbappé’s season and mark the start of a strong second half of his debut campaign at the Bernabéu.

Since his arrival, the 25-year-old has scored nine goals and provided two assists in 17 appearances. While this performance has left some fans underwhelmed, given his stellar record in Ligue 1, his teammates remain optimistic about his impact.

If Real Madrid fails to secure a win against Liverpool, they risk a dramatic exit from the competition, as they sit just two points clear of the teams facing elimination after the group stage.
