France icon Michel Platini has added his voice to the list of concerned figures over Kylian Mbappe’s form at Real Madrid.
Mbappe recovered from a low key start in the Spanish capital, and his domestic form is strong, with seven La Liga goals scored.
However, the Les Bleus captain only has one goal in the UEFA Champions League this season, as doubts continue over his adaptation to life under pressure in Madrid.
He was denied from the penalty spot in Real Madrid’s 2-0 Champions League defeat away at Liverpool in midweek in the latest blow to his confidence in front of goal in Europe.
Former Los Blancos star Guti claimed the former Paris Saint-Germain striker looks ‘unconfident, shy and scared’ as part of a withering assessment of his showing at Anfield.
Platini followed a similar line to Guti with the former midfielder believing Mbappe is lost on the pitch in the white of Real Madrid.
“I see him lost on the pitch. However, great champions must rise from the ashes. That is what will make Kylian a great champion,” he said.
“I’m confident this is only a small setback for him and for French football.”

Learn never to talk too much, learn never to be proud and boastful. Before the season started Barcelona were mocked and ridiculed by Cristiano fans telling how Mbappe will tear barca defense apart and destroy Barcelona but see what has happened, I believe that it is God punishing the proud and arrogant people who talk too much. Since Cristiano made that comment of Saudi league better than MLS Cristiano has lost about 5 major finals and have been knocked out shamefully without any trophy, they only celebrate tap in and bicycle kick goal. Even Cristiano himself cannot sleep and he is constantly afraid of Messi overtaken his goals tally. Cristiano knows exactly what Messi is capable of doing.
