Kylian Mbappe, once the golden boy of world soccer, is facing one of the toughest moments in his career.
The French superstar, known for his electrifying speed and sharp finishing, is struggling both on and off the pitch.
After a celebrated summer move to Real Madrid, things seemed perfect for the 25-year-old.
Fans cheered as he joined the list of ‘Galacticos,’ a dream come true for many players. But now, just months later, the glow has faded.
Mbappe has scored only one goal in his last seven games for Real Madrid. At the international level, he hasn’t found the net since June.
This slump led to his surprising absence from France’s squad for recent matches, raising eyebrows everywhere.
Reports from Bild, referencing the French outlet L’Equipe, reveal that Kylian Mbappe is grappling with intense stress and emotional fatigue.
Close sources to the star player have confirmed that he is currently facing significant mental health struggles.

Deschamps speaks about Mbappe’s challenges
France’s head coach, Didier Deschamps, recently opened up about why Mbappe was left out. Speaking to TF1 after a 0-0 draw with Israel, Deschamps said:
"He is in a difficult situation. Obviously, this is not the happiest time in his career."
Deschamps explained that Mbappe is dealing with both physical and mental struggles. He hinted that the decision to rest him was for the player’s benefit:
"He wanted to come. But I think it’s better for him not to be selected right now. Everybody can face tough times, and he needs to recover."
What's next for Kylian Mbappe?
Mbappe’s talent is undeniable. With 48 goals for France in 86 appearances, he’s on track to become his country’s top scorer. However, his focus now must shift to regaining form with Real Madrid.
The Blancos are set to return to La Liga action against Leganes on November 24. All eyes will be on Mbappe as he looks to find his rhythm and silence the doubters.
