Real Madrid faced a humiliating defeat against Barcelona, and in the midst of this disappointment, Kylian Mbappé stood out as the best performer in a struggling team during El Clasico.

Just days prior, Real Madrid had secured a victory over Mallorca to reach the Supercopa final, but they suffered a second humiliating loss to Barcelona this season in that final.

Although Mbappé opened the scoring, that moment quickly faded for Real Madrid fans as they found themselves wishing for the match to end, ultimately losing 2-5.

After the game, Real Madrid accepted their runner-up medals, a situation that is uncharacteristic for the club and hard to digest for their supporters.

The defeat was well-deserved, as Real Madrid’s performance was subpar, warranting nothing less than a loss. The scoreline was particularly fitting, except for one player.

Kylian Mbappé displayed his best form, being the only player who truly showed up for Real Madrid. Had the rest of the team matched his level, they might have won the match.

Sadly, no other player reached Mbappé’s standard. He was a lion among donkeys, and his individual effort couldn’t offset the overall team performance demonstrated by Barcelona.
