Kylian Mbappe has admitted that he “couldn’t do any worse” having initially struggled to adapt to life at Real Madrid.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Frenchman completed his free transfer from PSG to the Bernabeu<\/a> last summer. However, Kylian Mbappe<\/a> received criticism for missing several big chances in a number of big encounters.<\/p>\n

He missed two massive penalties in a week against Liverpool in the Champions League<\/a> and then against Athletic Bilbao in LaLiga. It saw Mbappe claim he had hit “rock bottom” following his poor run of form<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mbappe has since turned things around at Real. He has scored 18 goals in all competitions, including four in his last three games.<\/p>\n

But the 26-year-old has revealed what went through his mind during those early days.<\/p>\n

What Did Kylian Mbappe Say On His Early Real Madrid Struggles?<\/h2>\n

“I was thinking a lot,” Mbappe said ahead of Madrid’s game with RB Salzburg, when asked why it’s taken him a bit of time to settle.<\/p>\n

“I was adapting, thinking a lot about how to move, how to find space, whether I should get into Vinicius Junior’s zone, or Rodrygo’s. When you think so much, you don’t play well.”<\/p>\n
