Kylian Mbappe Under Fire as Fans Suggest He's in the 'Wrong Club' After Firing Blank vs Osasuna

  • Kylian Mbappe has struggled to hit the lofty heights expected of him since his arrival at Real Madrid in the summer
  • The Frenchman has scored only once for Los Blancos in his last seven games, sparking fan claims he's in the wrong club
  • But time will tell if Mbappe can find his rhythm or if his move to Madrid will remain one of football’s most shocking mismatches

Fans were quick to speculate that Kylian Mbappe’s lacklustre start at Real Madrid stems from an uneasy fit between player and club after he drew blank against Osasuna.

When Mbappe joined the Spanish powerhouse that had recently conquered both La Liga and the Champions League with near invincibility, expectations soared.
