Gonzalo Miró Criticizes Mbappé Taking Advantage of the Tooth and Paul Tenorio Silences Him

Mbappé Didn't Have His Night Against Atlético and among Real Madrid's strikers, he went unnoticed. Rodrygo scored a great goal and was a torment for Javi Galán, and Vinícius constantly tried to take on opponents. But the Frenchman struggled to get in touch with the ball in dangerous positions.

His best chance came in the final moments, but he took too long to pass the ball to Vinícius. It was a poor version of Mbappé, the same as what happened against Betis. He has come up short in preparation after the discomfort caused by the extraction of a tooth.

Some, like Gonzalo Miró, have taken advantage to try to criticize Mbappé. He claimed on Radio Marca that "When I've had a tooth removed, I've debated better than ever." He was trying to discredit Kylian for his performance in the first leg.

But Paul Tenorio replied, silencing him with just one sentence. "Madrid is in the knockout stage thanks to Mbappé," he stated. His hat-trick against City at Bernabéu and his goal in the first leg at Etihad have been key to advancing to the round of 16.

Once Again, the Debate on Mbappé's Form Has Opened

During the first months of the season, many attacked Mbappé. They claimed he didn't have the sufficient level and criticized his form at Real Madrid. But they didn't take into account his adaptation period, which ended and proved his worth.

Kylian Has Scored in Every Final he has played with Real Madrid so far. Additionally, he has appeared in important moments like in the Super Cup or against Manchester City. But as soon as he strings together a couple of bad games, they are ready to go against him.

A player who joined the white team without a preseason and is responding with play and numbers. Meanwhile, they lavish praise on Julián Álvarez with 22 goals and 5 assists. Mbappé, who is supposedly doing so poorly, surpasses him in numbers with 27 goals and 4 assists.
