“A humiliation for Real Madrid today at San Mamés,” said Thierry Henry, capturing the essence of Real Madrid’s disastrous 2-1 loss to Athletic Bilbao. “There’s no escape from the nightmare. Real Madrid rejected Barcelona’s gift and failed to top the league in a night that was disastrous in every way. The pressure on Carlo Ancelotti and Mbappé has now reached unimaginable levels.”
Henry was unforgiving as he continued, “Mbappé’s situation has become critical, heading down a path no one could have foreseen — not even his worst enemies. Even if Real Madrid wins their postponed match, they will still trail behind Barcelona.”The French legend made it clear that Real Madrid’s failure to capitalize on Barcelona’s slip-up was a massive missed opportunity.
Mbappé, after dominating them for seven years and earning a €150 million bonus, has now destroyed Real Madrid. His career has effectively ended just by playing for Real Madrid. The pressure at the club is terrifying,” Henry said, referring to the mounting expectations that have taken a toll on the French superstar. “This is what Kylian Mbappé is currently going through: a lack of confidence, no speed, no skill, no joy, and no brilliance left. Mbappé was once a project destined to be a legend, until Messi buried him in Lusail.”
The former Arsenal and Barcelona striker didn’t hold back, adding, “Now, Mbappé must be removed from the club.” His harsh words painted a bleak picture for the future of the French forward at Madrid.
🎙 Henry didn’t spare the team either, saying, “A precious gift from Nico to his friends in Catalonia. Another poor performance by Real Madrid this season. Congratulations to Barcelona on winning La Liga in advance.”
He concluded with a blunt statement, “There are some voices from below that simply cannot be heard. Barcelona is here at the top. Barça now leads La Liga alone, no matter what happens with the postponed match. This season, Real Madrid will end trophyless and riddled with scandals.”
It’s clear that Henry believes Real Madrid is in a dire situation. With Barcelona in full control and Real Madrid seemingly spiraling, the pressure is only growing on both the club and its marquee signing, Kylian Mbappé.
