Kylian Mbappe openly expressed his fatigue at Real Madrid, signaling the French star's frustration with both his own situation and that of the team.
At Real Madrid, things are not unfolding as expected. Los Blancos have been going through a series of dull matches, showing inconsistency and a rhythm that has yet to fully develop. Continuity remains missing, doubts are increasing, and the collective performance is clearly far below the standards of a club accustomed to competing for every trophy.
In this context, there are still players stepping up to shoulder the burden, and undeniably Kylian Mbappe stands out the most. Match after match, the French star shows responsibility, ambition, and leadership.
Mbappe runs tirelessly, actively demands the ball, willingly takes on the hardest tasks, and lifts the team during the most challenging moments. But football has its limits; no matter how brilliant you are, one player alone cannot carry the entire team.
Mbappe has begun to show signs of fatigue, not physically, but mentally. He is frustrated by having to "fight against the tide" repeatedly, as the same problems keep recurring. With the current way things are running, Real Madrid will struggle to maintain competitiveness at the highest level throughout the season.
There is genuine concern within the club. Mbappe is a major gamble for the project, the figure Real wants to represent both the present and the future. But they also understand that keeping a superstar requires not only contracts or fame but also providing an environment of winning, stability, and sufficient ambition.
The match against Rayo served as a mirror reflecting the issues. Mbappe’s post-match remarks were both candid and cautionary: “This isn’t right, we can’t keep struggling like this.”
This was not just criticism for the sake of it but an accurate reflection of Mbappe’s mental state. A player who wants more, who expects more from his own team. At Real Madrid, they know they must respond immediately. When a star like Mbappe starts openly talking about fatigue, it’s no longer a personal issue. It becomes a structural problem, and for Los Blancos, time has never stood still waiting.
This season, Mbappe is the lifeblood of Real Madrid with 37 goals and 5 assists in 30 games. The struggles of the Whites could turn catastrophic without Mbappe’s outstanding and consistent form.
