Kylian Mbappé Makes LaLiga History in Horror Show Against Barcelona

It was a nightmare of a first El Clasico for former Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappé in Real Madrid’s 4-0 loss to FC Barcelona on Saturday night at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.

Moreover, the player made history and not the good kind. The first 45 minutes resulted in a scoreless deadlock, but in the 31st minute, Mbappé thought he had given the home side the advantage. However, after a VAR review, it was waived due to offside.

Offsides would be a theme of the night for the Frenchman, as StatMuse pointed out on X that Mbappé was called offside eight times in El Clásico. That’s the most by any player in a single LaLiga game in the last 10 seasons.

If that wasn’t the worst part for Mbappé and Real Madrid, they had to see Barcelona celebrate four teams after scoring four goals in the second half. Two of the goals came from veteran Robert Lewandowski, who scored in the 54th minute and 56th minute.

Lamine Yamal scored a goal in the 77th minute, and Raphinha scored the last dagger for Real Madrid in the 84th minute. It’s been a challenging start for Mbappé at Real Madrid, and if he doesn’t figure out how to get out of this slump, the tenure won’t end well.
