Kylian Mbappé has received a lot of criticism for his performances at Real Madrid. The Frenchman hasn't yet got off to a good start in a career that has been waiting for seven years. The impression is not good so far after missing a penalty and "hiding" in Vinícius's absence. His poor performance against Liverpool reminds us of an old report.
In September 2022, Paul Pogba's brother Mathias publicly claimed that he hired a marabout to stop Kylian Mbappé. He did so to stop him in the duel between PSG and Manchester United in 2019, which ended 1-3.

Even with four top players behind him, Mbappé performed any play. This is the pending issue for this Real Madrid, which would gain confidence if the Frenchman had four clear chances in each game.
At Anfield, Vinícius didn't "hinder" him, yet he only offered a few glimpses of his skill, not much more. He also missed the penalty. Real Madrid had it clear. With Vinícius absent—the devil, for Liverpool's Reds—Real Madrid could better than ever look for its French star.
But They didn't find it. Mbappé played with the freedom that Vini's absence gave him, acting as the only natural reference point at the tip of the attack.
Mbappé was not up to par and many eyes are turning to an old accusation against Paul Pogba. It probably has nothing to do with it, but...
