Kylian Mbappé should take note of Karim Benzema’s guidance after Real Madrid’s 3-1 defeat to Milan in the UEFA Champions League.
The setback marked another tough moment for Mbappé at Real Madrid, as the reigning champions experienced their second group-stage loss at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Goals from Malick Thiaw, Álvaro Morata, and Tijani Reijnders handed Milan the win, providing a major lift for coach Paulo Fonseca.
It as another frustrating game for Mbappe, who played the entire 90 minutes but was well marshaled by the Milanese backline and denied on occasion by fellow France international Mike Maignan as he attempted to drag Carlo Ancelotti’s side back into proceedings.
Real’s consolation goal came from Vinicius Junior, who equalised from the penalty spot after 23 minutes, demonstrating that Mbappe is far from being Los Blancos’ go-to player just yet.
