Kylian Mbappé is under attack from all sides in his country. They were waiting for him and were eager to unleash all their heavy artillery against him.
The 4-0 against Barça and the unexpected 3-1 against Milan have allowed the French media to become hostile against Mbappé.
It's about confirming that Mbappé was wrong to leave France and that both he and Real Madrid will end up losing for working together.
Henry: "Mbappé Must Learn to Play Like a 9"
Former footballer Thierry Henry has analyzed the current situation that Mbappé is experiencing in the English media. The former Barça player has a program on CBS, alongside Jamie Carragher, called Golazo. There, he has expressed his point of view.
"I think the team is frustrated with him, which I can understand...
"We have to give him time but at the same time he has to learn to play like a 9. He must have the desire and will to project himself.
"Bellingham is trying to do what his No. 9, Mbappé, is supposed to do It's almost always Bellingham who tries to make the runs, make the team play.
"Who's running and trying to get to the goal? It's Bellingham, not your No. 9. There's frustration.
"Look at the number 9! Once again, your 9 isn't there. I know it can happen sometimes, but it can't be all the time."

Bellingham's Crushing due to Mbappé
"I know he's not a number 9 and that's not what he likes to do. But do you think Bellingham likes to do these races? He does it because his desire and his will speak for themselves.
"Look where he's coming from, passing his number 9 to run behind the defense. You can't win games like that with your 10 breaking through, coming back, trying to defend and then scoring in the opposition goal.
"Then he was substituted, I would've been angry too; of course I would've been angry too. For me it's not good enough. I don't think they play well as a team.
"Mbappé will improve because he can't be worse than that. We're not asking him to hold the ball like Didier Drogba. we're not asking him to take the ball and dribble past everyone, either. We need him to project himself when the team is pressing.
"Whether you're a winger, a 9 or a 10, you can run. Even Rüdiger did that in the first half."
"Mbappé's bench at Real Madrid"
The controversial Daniel Riolo also attacked Mbappé on his program After Foot. Riolo wants the bench for Mbappé.
"Madrid is playing without a center forward because that's how it was last year. That's how it is with the French national team and that's how it will be at Real Madrid.
"Mbappé is not and will never be a 9. Just as everyone else has been a prisoner of this, Ancelotti is in the same prison."
"Mbappé either plays on the left or is on the bench. There are better players on the left than him at the moment, as Vinícius has the privilege of longevity at the club and better performance. So he will go to the bench because it can't be any other way.
"There's one on the bench: Rodrygo. Will Ancelotti be able to make that decision? Madrid is a big club and capable of making that decision, but they can't continue like this. It's surprising.
The legendary former player of the glorious Saint-Etienne, Jean-Michel Larqué, adds fuel to the fire on the program Rothen s'enflamme on RMC:
"I'm starting to worry about Mbappé, especially because of the content of his matches. It's been a long time since I've seen him make the plays he made a few years ago."
