The match that took place on November 24, 2018, saw Real Madrid facing a disappointing 3-0 defeat at the hands of Eibar in La Liga. Karim Benzema, who was flagged offside seven times during the game, equaled a league record set by Jonathas de Jesus in May 2015. Fast forward nearly six years later, Kylian Mbappe, who is seen as Benzema’s long-term replacement, surpassed this unwanted record in a high-profile El Clasico match against Barcelona, where Real Madrid suffered a 4-0 loss.

Mbappe’s first Clasico garnered a lot of attention due to his impressive track record against Barcelona, including a hat-trick at Camp Nou. Known for delivering in big games, Mbappe’s performance was highly anticipated, especially given his success in previous encounters with Barcelona and other top teams in various competitions.

The match strategy for Real Madrid involved exploiting Barcelona’s high defensive line with the pace of Mbappe and Vinicius Junior. The plan was to make well-timed runs and capitalize on the speed advantage against Barcelona’s defenders. However, Mbappe struggled throughout the game due to the magnitude of the occasion, lack of chemistry with his teammates, and missed opportunities in front of goal.

From the start of the match, it was evident that Madrid’s approach was to play long balls up the pitch for Mbappe and his attacking partners to win duels. The physicality and quick passing of Madrid’s midfielders troubled Barcelona in the first half, but Mbappe’s repeated offside infringements hindered their attacking efforts.

Despite Mbappe’s offside struggles, he showed glimpses of promise with his off-the-ball work and contributions to the team’s overall strategy. However, his failure to time his runs correctly and convert chances cost Real Madrid dearly as Barcelona capitalized on their defensive lapses to secure a comfortable victory.

Mbappe’s performance highlighted the need for improved synergy with his teammates, especially in crucial matches like El Clasico. His tendency to be caught offside frequently has been a recurring issue this season, emphasizing the importance of developing better on-field awareness and chemistry with his fellow players.

Moving forward, Mbappe will need to refine his decision-making in front of goal, reduce his offside infractions, and adapt to the demands of playing for a top club like Real Madrid. While fulfilling his dream of representing Madrid, Mbappe faces the challenge of meeting the high expectations associated with playing for one of the biggest clubs in the world.

In conclusion, Mbappe’s El Clasico performance showcased both his potential and areas for improvement. With time and experience, he has the opportunity to become a key player for Real Madrid and make a significant impact in future matches.
