Kylian Mbappé under scrutiny as Real Madrid struggles in Champions League

Summary

Kylian Mbappé continues to score but Real Madrid faces challenges in the Champions League. Despite his impressive record, including 42 goals last season, the team has failed to secure silverware under coach Álvaro Arbeloa. The club has seen a significant decline in form since winning the LaLiga and Champions League two years ago. Sources discuss the impact of the Ewing Theory on team performance in relation to star players, suggesting that the team's struggles may relate to overreliance on Mbappé. The ongoing season will continue to test Real Madrid's dynamics as they adapt without a clear strategy.
