The most prominent title for Real Madrid in El Clasico against Barcelona may be the “offside trap” and its first hero was undoubtedly Kylian Mbappe.
The French international, who is participating for the first time in El Clasico, almost failed to escape the offside trap except once or twice, which made him the subject of ridicule by fans on social media.
In fact, the ridicule is fully deserved, as the numbers show that Mbappe fell into the offside trap 8 times over the course of 90 minutes.
Mbappe has scored 8 goals in all competitions this season, and today alone he fell into offside the same number of goals in 13 matches in all competitions.
Mbappe had scored a goal and it was disallowed for offside, and in the second half when he succeeded in escaping the trap twice, goalkeeper Inaki Pena shone and stopped two one-on-ones from him.
Mbappe is not the only one with bad numbers in El Clasico, as Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham’s numbers are no less disastrous, but the difference is that they did not waste the opportunities that were available to the French star.
