Kylian Mbappe is struggling for form at Real Madrid, failing to score or assist in five matches as the team suffers poor results and falls behind in the La Liga title race.

Real Madrid are feeling the impact of Kylian Mbappe’s sudden drop in form. The French forward hasn’t scored or assisted in his last five appearances, and the team’s results have taken a clear hit.

Over that stretch, Madrid have lost three games, drawn one, and picked up just one win—a narrow 1-0 victory over Alaves. In all five matches, they failed to score more than once.

Mbappe, who had previously racked up 32 goals and four assists this season, is no longer producing at the level that made him the team’s attacking engine. Without his explosiveness, Madrid’s attack looks noticeably dulled.

They’ve already been knocked out of the Champions League in the quarter-finals, and now trail Barcelona by four points in La Liga with just seven rounds remaining. The two clubs will also meet in the final of the domestic cup, but Madrid will need a major turnaround to claim any silverware.

There’s growing concern around the club as the season winds down. A change in the coaching staff this summer is being discussed, and new defensive reinforcements are expected as part of a broader rebuild.

For Madrid to stay in the title race and have any hope of a cup triumph, Mbappe must quickly return to form. The pressure is building as the final stretch begins.
