Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappe, and Arda Guler were unable to inspire Real Madrid to victory against Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday. The Los Blancos only managed a total of eight shots and had Caoimhin Kelleher make just three saves.

Following the game, Bellingham admitted that Real Madrid‘s opponents were simply ‘superior’. As things stand, the Spanish side sits in 24th position, with two wins and three defeats in the first five games.

Sometimes you have to hold your hands up. They dominated large spells of the game. We weren’t clinical enough.

Jude Bellingham told the press

Besides Jude Bellingham, striker Kylian Mbappe also had a night to forget. The Frenchman missed a crucial opportunity to pull his side level from the penalty spot.

As for Bellingham, the 21-year-old failed to make a single cross, tackle, or successful dribble. Fans even mocked Real Madrid supporters for comparing him to Barcelona star Pedri.

Despite a crucial penalty miss and an embarrassing moment (falling on his head) against Virgil van Dijk, Kylian Mbappe was backed up by his manager to get better in the future. After downplaying the loss, Carlo Ancelotti defended Mbappe despite the penalty miss.

He (Mbappe) has everyone’s support and will soon emerge from this difficult time. He is an extraordinary player. We must be patient.

The Italian has come under fire for playing the forward out of person and not giving opportunities to the likes of Endrick and Arda Guler in recent games. Ahead of the game, former Real Madrid man and five-time UCL winner Gareth Bale also publicly backed the player.

The Welshman named Mbappe the ‘best player in the world’ and argued that it’s only a matter of time before he turns things around. In fact, many expected Mbappe to inspire his side to victory over Liverpool after picking up form with a goal against Leganes in La Liga on Sunday.
