Mbappé comments on embarrassment after Benfica’s goal in the decisive match.

The defeat of Real Madrid to Benfica at the Estádio da Luz by 4-2 left the Merengues in shock, and as expected, Kylian Mbappé did not hold back in his statements after the final whistle. The French forward, who had already made his mark in the game, expressed his frustration and shame over the outcome that prevented the team from qualifying directly for the knockout stage of the Champions League.

“The fourth goal [from Benfica] doesn’t change anything, it gives us a bit of shame, but it doesn’t change anything,” Mbappé stated, reflecting his concern over the team’s performance. The player, who has been one of the stars of world football, made it clear that the defeat cannot be attributed to a single factor. “Last week we played at a high level, but that was not the case now, and we need to maintain that. We are lacking a bit of everything. I won’t say it’s just an attitude problem or just about the football played; I believe it’s something very generalized, and in the Champions League, everything is decided by details. If you don’t come to a game like this ready to win…” lamented the star.

His words resonate as a call to the team and the fans, inviting them to reflect on what is necessary to get back on the path to victory. “I ask the Bernabéu to come with the desire to support the team. We are not eliminated, and in La Liga, we are in a good dynamic. If the Bernabéu is with us, we will have a good game on Sunday,” concluded Mbappé, demonstrating a fighting spirit that could be crucial for the upcoming challenges.

The defeat in Lisbon is not just a setback but a call to action for a team that urgently needs to adjust its behaviors and strategies. Real Madrid, a legend of world football, now faces pressure not only to rise again in the Champions League but also to maintain its reputation intact in La Liga. The support of the fans will be vital for success in the upcoming matches as the team tries to regain the confidence and form that made it great in previous years.
