Mbappe's inexplicable decline in form.

Kylian Mbappe's declining form is raising doubts about how Real Madrid are operating during this crucial stage of the season.

Mbappe's form has been unusually poor.

From being a leading figure, Mbappe is now becoming the center of debate at the Bernabeu. At the start of the season, the French striker quickly integrated into the team, scoring 9 of their 16 goals and making a significant contribution to their seven consecutive wins at the beginning of the season.

After the 5-2 defeat against Atletico Madrid on September 27, 2025, Mbappe continued his impressive performance with 8 goals during a period when the team won 6 consecutive matches.

However, things have reversed recently. Mbappe has only scored 1 goal in his last 7 games, and his finishing efficiency has dropped sharply. From an average of 1 goal every 70 minutes, he now needs 497 minutes to score, with a conversion rate of just 4%.

This decline has affected not only Mbappe personally but also the entire team. Vinicius Junior, his attacking partner, has also seen a significant decrease in attacking time since Mbappe returned to the starting lineup. This raises questions about the balance in Real Madrid's attacking system.

Coach Alvaro Arbeloa showed no signs of worry. He asserted that the stars are still among the best players in the world and the problem lies in the team as a whole. According to the strategist, Real Madrid is struggling against opponents who play defensively and restrict space, limiting their attacking potential.

When Mbappe suffered a knee injury and was sidelined, the team showed better cohesion. This detail further fueled debate about his true role in the system.

Nevertheless, with 83 goals in 96 matches, Mbappe remains Real Madrid's main striker. All of "Los Blancos'" hopes now rest on the second leg of the Champions League quarter-final against Bayern Munich. In this context, Mbappe is the biggest asset that Real Madrid fans can rely on.

Bayern triumphs, Real Madrid reveals its limitations. Bayern Munich left the Bernabeu with a spirited 2-1 victory, while Real Madrid endured a forgettable night, losing control of the game and making repeated mistakes.
