Former Paris Saint-Germain winger, Jerome Rothen has blamed Kylian Mbappe for Real Madrid’s poor start to the season.
Rothen claimed that Mbappe’s presence is causing frustration for other players at Real Madrid.
According to him, some players have taken on different roles or even lost prominence since Mbappe’s arrival from PSG as a free agent.
Speaking on RMC Sport, Rothen said: “Mbappé was the star of the summer. Real Madrid won everything last season with a solid team and players who proved their worth on the field.
“However, I feel that all of that has been lost.
“Kylian has become the focal point of this situation, and his presence is causing frustration for some. Other players have taken on different roles or even lost prominence.
“It is clear that an adjustment period is needed when changing teams, but when you are among the best players in the world, this should happen quickly.”
Real Madrid currently sit in the second position on the LaLiga table with six points behind leaders Barcelona.
