In his first El Clasico since his transfer to Real Madrid, the striker was caught offside 8 times, a record in the top 5 championships in the last 15 years. “Barcelona left him offside, literally. Again, and again, and again, and again, and again. He got to celebrate a goal, after an excellent pass from Lucas, but was denied by a few centimeters (no following the VAR decision).
Halloween came early for Mbappe
Three times he missed clear opportunities, 1 on 1, the kind of opportunities he should score. His first Clasico ended in a nightmare. Halloween came a few days early for the Frenchman”noted AS, who did not give him a qualification, but drew a line in his right!
Kylian Mbappe was not the only one to get a line in the Spanish press. Lunin, Mendy, Militao, Rudiger, Tchouameni and Valverde were deemed too weak to score, while Lucas Vasquez, Bellingham, Camavinga and Vinicius jr were given the highest marks.
