His lack of form in front of goal has drawn scrutiny from fans and pundits, raising questions about his fit in Carlo Ancelotti’s squad.
Ronaldo warns Mbappe
In the resurfaced clip shared on social media, Ronaldo, speaking to Rio Ferdinand, offered a pointed warning about the challenges of playing at Madrid.
“Let’s see if his head is clear and good, and if he can deal with the pressure because Real Madrid is not PSG,” Ronaldo said.
“I think Madrid will be strong with Mbappé, but I don’t know if they’ll be better than last season. Let’s see.”
Mbappe's concerning form
Ronaldo, the club’s all-time leading scorer with 450 goals in 438 appearances, knows the expectations at Madrid better than most.
His words seem prophetic as Mbappé’s performances struggle to meet the high demands of Los Blancos’ faithful.
On Wednesday, Real Madrid slipped further in the La Liga title race, losing 2-1 to Athletic Bilbao, per Eurosport.
Mbappé, playing on the left in Vinícius Júnior’s absence, was contained by defenders and endured another nightmare showing.
He missed another penalty comfortably saved by Bilbao goalkeeper Julen Agirrezabala and squandered a golden opportunity set up by Jude Bellingham.
