Kylian Mbappe’s Offside Trap: A Source of Ridicule for the Real Madrid Striker
Frenchman Kylian Mbappe, the Real Madrid striker, has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons after being caught in an offside trap, which has often seen him as a source of ridicule.
Since arriving at Real Madrid last summer from Paris Saint-Germain, Mbappe has played 14 matches, scored 8 goals, and provided two assists. However, his time with the capital team has not been characterized by stability in performance and level.
A recent incident against Barcelona saw Mbappe appear to score a stunning goal, only for the Video Assistant Referee (VAR) to rule him offside and disallow the goal. This led to Brazilian Rafinha scoring the third goal, further mocking the Frenchman.
Mbappe was caught offside a staggering 8 times on Saturday, the highest in his career, which began in 2016. This feat has drawn comparisons to Elche’s Jonathan May, who achieved a similar record in 2015 against Athletic Bilbao.
The Real Madrid striker’s numerous offside incidents have made him a target for mockery on social media platforms. Many have taken to Twitter to poke fun at Mbappe’s lack of awareness on the pitch.
Cristobal Soria, a famous journalist, joked that Real Madrid officials must be thinking of ways to return Mbappe to Paris Saint-Germain, but they don’t know that he is still in an offside position.
A satirical account called “Troll Football” revealed that Mbappe was offside 6 times and passed the ball only 5 times in a recent match. This has led to further ridicule and criticism of the Frenchman’s performance.
As the criticism continues to mount, Mbappe will be looking to bounce back and prove his doubters wrong. However, for now, he remains a source of amusement for many football fans around the world.
