"Worst signing in football history", "He's washed" - Fans want Real Madrid superstar to be sold after UCL defeat against AC Milan
Real Madrid fans on X want Kylian Mbappe to be sold after he struggled to make an impact in their 3-1 defeat against Serie A outfit AC Milan. The two sides locked horns in the UEFA Champions League at the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday, November 5.
AC Milan made a strong start and were rewarded when Malick Thiaw headed home into the top corner in the 12th minute. However, Los Blancos leveled the scores 11 minutes later via Vinicius Junior's penalty kick.
Aurelien Tchouameni carelessly conceded possession in the 39th minute. This led to the visitors launching a counter-attack, which was well finished by Alvaro Morata to make it 2-1. Tijjani Reijnders found the back of the net in the 73rd minute. Unfortunately for the hosts, Antonio Rudiger's 81st-minute goal was ruled out due to an offside, resulting in AC Milan sealing all three points.
Mbappe had a night to forget as he was unable to convert numerous opportunities despite finding himself in excellent positions. He missed a one-on-one in the 43rd minute and was poor by his high standards after the break. The Real Madrid summer signing landed three shots on target from an attempted eight and completed just one cross from six, with an accuracy of 17 percent.
One fan wants Real Madrid to sell Mbappe, posting:
"Mbappe is the worst signing in football history. He can’t beat his man. He can’t even score without penalties. He can’t stay onside. SELL HIM ASAP."
Another fan tweeted:
"He's washed."
