Kylian Mbappe sends a cryptic message after the El Clasico defeat

After Real Madrid suffered a defeat to Barcelona in the most important clash of the season, the spotlight fell on the players and coaching staff. Kylian Mbappé, Jude Bellingham, and Vinícius Jr. had solid performances, but the game fell short in terms of returns and results. With the loss, their final chance to re-enter the title race slipped away. Hurt by the defeat, Real Madrid superstar Kylian Mbappé posted a strong eight-word message to the fans.

Real Madrid superstar Kylian Mbappé took to social media to address the loyal fanbase, promising to come back stronger. The French international gave his all in the match, scoring a hat-trick to give his side the best possible chance of securing the win. However, it ultimately wasn’t enough. After the defeat, Mbappé posted:

Painful but we will come back. ¡HalaMadrid!

Real Madrid had one final chance to secure a title in the ongoing campaign. They narrowly missed out on the Spanish Super Cup and the Copa del Rey in closely contested matches, and were eliminated from the Champions League without much resistance by Arsenal in the quarterfinals. As a result, they are set to finish the season without a single trophy.

What did Carlo Ancelotti say about the missed chances and the El Clasico loss? 

Following the loss, Carlo Ancelotti acknowledged the efforts and contributions of his players but expressed deep disappointment over their lack of finishing in the final stages of the game. He emphasized that the team fought hard and didn’t concede an inch easily to the opposition. Ancelotti also praised the squad’s attitude and commitment throughout the match. The Italian said: 

We had the chance to make it 4-4 twice. It was a competitive, hard-fought and evenly matched game until the last second. We didn't equalise because of an offside. I saw two great teams. There is nothing to call out in terms of attitude and commitment. It didn't go well, but we competed until the end

What's next for Real Madrid? 

Real Madrid have three games in the Spanish top flight and are not out yet mathematically. They will look to finish it on high, but also hope Barcelona does not collect more than two points in the next three games to have a chance at the title.
