Mbappe Shines, But Real Madrid Stumble in Vigo
Real Madrid made the trip to Galicia to face Celta Vigo in a tricky La Liga matchup. While the star-studded Madrid side entered the match as favorites, it was Kylian Mbappe who stole the show, but not in the way you might expect.
Mbappe, who's been rumored to be joining Real Madrid next summer, didn't score, but his performance was a masterclass in creative playmaking. The Frenchman was constantly involved in the attack, using his pace and agility to break down the Celta defense. He provided several key passes and even had a goal disallowed for a questionable offside call.
But despite Mbappe's brilliance, Real Madrid struggled to find their rhythm against a spirited Celta Vigo. The home team pressed high and made it tough for Madrid to control possession. They even had several chances of their own, including a goal that was ruled out for handball.
In the end, the game finished in a frustrating 0-0 draw for Real Madrid. The point didn't do much to improve their position in the La Liga table, and it was a real missed opportunity. They were just missing that killer instinct and couldn't break down the Celta defense, despite Mbappe's efforts.
Mbappe's Player Rating:
While the draw wasn't a great result for Real Madrid, Mbappe's performance was certainly worth praising. He was a constant threat throughout the game and deservedly earns a 9.0/10 rating. His creativity, pace, and vision were a constant headache for the Celta defense.
He may not have been on the scoresheet, but Mbappe was undoubtedly the best player on the pitch. This performance should only further fuel the rumors of his potential move to the Bernabeu.
The future of Mbappe remains uncertain, but his performance against Celta Vigo was a reminder of his exceptional talent and how he could be a crucial asset for any team.
