The Spanish media aimed critiques at Real Madrid's forward Kylian Mbappe.

The newcomer of the royal club was supposed to become the savior for La Liga representatives in the UEFA Champions League quarter-final match against London’s Arsenal, but he again left the field with a blank scoreline.

Real had to acknowledge the superiority of the "Gunners" with an aggregate score of 1:5.

"He was not the K. Mbappe we are used to seeing.

Yes, he provoked a penalty that was later canceled and tried his luck by taking shots from distance.

The Frenchman made a header that didn't cause much trouble for Raya. Ultimately, his miserable performance was crowned by an injury,” wrote Marca.

"It was such a night where the Frenchman had no options other than a rebound. Frustration,” stated Mundo Deportivo.

"Mbappe messed up trying to spark the team. The same applies to Vinicius,” explained AS.
