Kylian Mbappé publicly voiced his frustration following Real Madrid‘s 1-1 draw against Girona on December 1, 2025, at Montilivi. The forward, who scored the equalizing goal from the penalty spot, expressed disappointment with the result via an Instagram story, signaling a need for immediate enhancement.
The draw halted Real madrid’s momentum in La Liga, eroding the lead established after El Clásico and extending a winless streak to three consecutive away matches – Vallecas, Elche, and now Girona. While Barcelona continues to gain ground, Mbappé’s statement underscores the urgency within the club to regain control of the league standings. He stated, “It’s not the result we wanted tonight. But La Liga continues and it is very long. We need to change the dynamic and show who we are as a team.”
Despite a recent four-goal performance against Olympiakos, Mbappé faced challenges influencing play in Catalonia, receiving limited support from teammates and having a goal disallowed due to a prior handball. Beyond converting the penalty, he struggled to break down the Girona defense.
Real Madrid will seek to “change the dynamic” in thier upcoming mid-week match against Athletic in San Mamés, a crucial opportunity to recapture their winning form and solidify their position in the league. The club’s ability to respond will be closely watched as the La Liga season progresses.
