The signing of Kylian Mbappé by Real Madrid, which was expected to make the team unstoppable in both LaLiga and the Champions League, has proven to be a major disappointment so far.

Despite scoring 7 goals in 11 matches in all competitions, his impact on the team play has left much to be desired. The lack of connection between him and his attacking partners, Rodrygo Goes and Vinícius Jr, has limited the effectiveness of the offensive trio of the Merengues, who have only managed to score 14 goals together, well below the expectations generated by the arrival of a star like Mbappé and the continuity of forwards who were crucial in the previous season, where Real Madrid won LaLiga and the UEFA Champions League.

The stat that reflects Mbappé's signing is, up to this point... a failure

To put this into perspective, the offensive trio of Real Madrid ranks fourth in the list of goal-scoring trios in Europe, tied with the attackers of Stuttgart and Chelsea, who have also scored 14 goals. This contrasts sharply with Barcelona's trio, consisting of Robert Lewandowski, Raphinha, and Lamine Yamal, who have 23 goals, and Bayern Munich's 17 goals, with Harry Kane, Michael Olise, and Jamal Musiala. Or Liverpool's trio (Salah, Diogo Jota, and Luis Díaz) with 15 goals. The difference is alarming and concerning for those who believed Real Madrid would dominate every game.

Carlo Ancelotti faces a significant challenge at the beginning of this season. While Mbappé's individual performance seems high, more in terms of numbers than gameplay, the trio's inability to synchronize and create clear chances has been evident. For the team to effectively compete in LaLiga and the Champions League, the Italian coach will need to find solutions that allow his forwards not only to score but also to collaborate more efficiently on the field. The pressure is rising, and doubts about the team's functioning have begun to emerge.

However, despite what Ancelotti can do, doubts also arise about the possibility of the three playing together in the same system, considering that they are not quite clicking. It even raises the possibility of Rodrygo being the one left out so that Ancelotti can maintain the 1-4-4-2 with an additional midfielder.
