Luka Modric Stands by Kylian Mbappe Amid Criticism
Real Madrid midfielder Luka Modric has come to the defense of his teammate Kylian Mbappe, who has faced mounting criticism from fans after a recent dry spell on the pitch.
Following a 4-0 thrashing of Osasuna in La Liga, attention turned to Mbappe, who has gone four consecutive matches without scoring a goal for Carlo Ancelotti’s side.
As fans voiced their frustration and questioned Mbappe’s form, Modric, a decorated player himself, urged fans to stay loyal to the French forward.
In his post-match remarks, Modric confidently assured fans, “Mbappé will come through and make a significant impact.” He emphasized that Mbappe is still one of the world’s top players, capable of producing remarkable performances.
Notably, Mbappe has already made a respectable contribution to Real Madrid, scoring 8 goals and providing 2 assists in 16 games across all competitions since joining the team on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain on July 1, 2024. With his current contract set to expire on June 30, 2029, the 25-year-old has plenty of time to make his mark.
