Kylian Mbappe’s telling reaction to Vinicius Jr’s mistake during Real Madrid’s shock defeat to Lille has been spotted by fans.
Real were beaten 1-0 by Lille on Wednesday in one of the biggest shocks of this season’s Champions League campaign.
Jonathan David converted a penalty just before the break as he scored the only goal of the game.
The La Liga giants couldn’t get going as Carlo Ancelotti opted for Brazilian phenom Endrick up front instead of Mbappe, who was dropped to the bench.
And footage of Mbappe reacting to a mistake from Vinicius Jr during their clash has emerged and it speaks volumes.
A clip shows the Brazilian winger failing to control the ball as he was unable to create an opening.
The camera then pans to Mbappe, who didn’t look impressed as he cut a frustrated figure.
The Frenchman, who has scored seven goals across all competitions this season, eventually entered the fray but failed to inspire his side’s comeback as Real lost their first game of the season.
Speaking after the game, Ancelotti was critical of his team’s display in the attacking areas.
“It’s difficult to analyse this game,” he said. “We were bad in every aspect. We didn’t create, the possession was slow, no ideas. Our forwards need a more vertical game. This could be a problem when you’re slow.
“This was a bad game. We showed a bad image, and we have bad feelings.”
Ancelotti added: “The loss against Atletico in January helped us to change. Hopefully the same will happen now.”
Real have had a relatively slow start to the new term, having secured the league title and the Champions League last season.
They’ve drawn three of their eight league matches and have won just one of their opening two games of the defence of their European title.
