Carlo Ancelotti said Real Madrid would support Kylian Mbappe in his “difficult moment” and explained that the striker is lacking confidence after missing a penalty in the 2-0 defeat at Liverpool.
Mbappe’s struggles since signing for Madrid in the summer continued as he was marked out of the game by Conor Bradley before Caoimhin Kelleher saved his spot-kick.
“This has happened before in my career many times, forwards when you are a striker you want to score and get a bit of confidence,” Ancelotti said.
“There is a medicine which is a difficult moment for him, I think Mbappe, it is a difficult moment we have to support him and give him our love, he will soon be fine.
“It could be a lack of confidence maybe, sometimes maybe when you have moments when things aren’t working out, the idea is to keep things simple, don’t complicate life.
“You don’t need to blame him for missing penalties, people miss penalties, it happens a lot“, said Ancelotti.
