Ancelotti Defends Mbappe Amid Goal Drought and Mental Health Speculation

Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti dismisses rumors about Kylian Mbappe's mental health and expresses confidence in the striker's return to form.

Kylian Mbappe has scored just one goal in his last seven matches for Real Madrid and has gone over 400 minutes without scoring.
Rumors about Mbappe's mental health have circulated, but Ancelotti has called such speculation 'ugly' and stated he sees the player as happy and motivated.
French national team coach Didier Deschamps left Mbappe out of recent Nations League squads, citing the player's fragile psychological state but not confirming specific mental health issues.
Ancelotti emphasized that goal droughts are common among top strikers and expressed confidence that Mbappe will soon regain his scoring form.
Questions have arisen over Mbappe's position on the field, but Ancelotti remains firm in his tactical approach, balancing Mbappe's role with that of Vinicius Jr.
