It's been a challenging few months for Mbappe as his dream move to Real Madrid has failed to gain momentum. He was kept off the scoresheet in Los Blancos' 4-0 win over Osasuna on Saturday, extending his run of games without a goal to four. Thierry Henry and Karim Benzema are among those to open up on what's going wrong for the 25-year-old in Madrid and according to Marca, alarm bells are ringing at the Bernabeu.

Marca's report goes on to claim that Mbappe is overwhelmed by his poor form in front of goal. He's netted just once since September and the frustration is starting to show through his body language – he threw his arms into the air on repeated occasions on Saturday and headed straight for the tunnel at full-time.
DID YOU KNOW?
Mbappe's poor form is attributed to some off-field issues, including his recent fallout with France boss Didier Deschamps, his problematic trip to Sweden last month and his legal battle with Paris Saint-Germain over unpaid wages. On the pitch, he is struggling to play as a No.9 while Vinicius Junior – who scored a hat-trick against Osasuna – shines on the left.

Mbappe still retains plenty of support in the dressing room and Carlo Ancelotti has backed him to start scoring soon. Left out of the France squad, he'll get some rest before trying to end his drought when Real take on Leganes on November 24.
