Robinho caught out by his words: “Kylian Mbappé has no place at Real and he won’t do great things, because…”

On the web, former footballer Robinho found himself at the center of ridicule following comments he made about Kylian Mbappé. Here’s the lowdown.

When the French international was announced as joining Real Madrid, many sports figures weighed in on the matter. Some of them were pessimistic about the player’s transfer.

This was the case for Robinho, who expressed himself in these terms: “Kylian Mbappé has no place at Real Madrid and he won’t do much for this club. You’ll agree with me, be patient.”

These comments sparked debates about the importance for Real Madrid of signing the French international. But a few months later, they were shut down.

Upon arriving at Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappé had a rather difficult start, but ultimately managed to establish himself. Currently, he’s one of Carlo Ancelotti’s trusted players.

And with his magnificent performances, the French international is poised to win the next Ballon d’Or. And to meet this challenge, he must assert himself during Real Madrid’s matches.

For his part, Vinicius Jr. said he was ready to help the Frenchman become the top scorer in all competitions.

“He arrived to help us. We’re going to help him become ‘pichichi’ (top scorer) in all competitions,” the Brazilian international said.

For his part, coach Carlo Ancelotti expressed his pride in seeing Kylian Mbappé achieve such feats. He said the latter could break Cristiano Ronaldo’s record, who is Real Madrid’s all-time top scorer with 451 goals in 438 games for the 15-time Champions League winners.

“He has the quality to achieve his numbers, but he has to work hard, because Cristiano has set the bar very high, but he’s so excited to play here, he can reach Cristiano’s level. Everyone was expecting a hat-trick from him, and he’s finally here.”

“But Mbappé isn’t the only one; we have many players who make the difference. And they make the difference through their collective work more than their individual quality, which is remarkable,” the coach confided.

Will the French striker be able to rise to this great challenge? Subsequent events will confirm this.
