Brazil great, Ronaldo Nazario has backed Kylian Mbappe following his difficult start at Real Madrid.
The French international has was born in Cameroon has struggled to meet expectations this season.
The former PSG forward missed a penalty in Real Madrid’s 2-0 defeat against Liverpool in the Champions League.
Mbappe again missed a spot-kick in Real Madrid’s 2-1 loss to Athletic Club highlighting his difficulties, especially in the absence of key players like Vinicius Jr.
While he has shown flashes of brilliance, critics question his consistency in crucial moments.
Speaking to MARCA, Ronaldo said, “In football, anything can happen. There can be good streaks and bad streaks. Mbappe represents a lot for Real Madrid, and he’s going to be very important. Both Real Madrid and Mbappe have a lot of credit.”
Ronaldo stressed the need for patience as Mbappe adapts to the demands of the club. He believes the Frenchman’s quality and determination will help him overcome this period and thrive at Real Madrid.
Mbappe will hope to propel Real Madrid to winning ways when they travel to play Girona in the La Liga later tonight.
