Former striker for Arsenal, Barcelona, and the French national team, Thierry Henry, provided advice to Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé following the team's defeat to AC Milan.
In the fourth round of the Champions League, the Madrid club suffered a 1-3 loss at home. Mbappe did not score or make any assists.
He’s frustrating the team, which I understand — it’s not easy. We need to give him time, but he also has to learn to play as a 'no.9', to show some desire. Mbappe will get better — it can’t get any worse than this. No one is asking him to be Didier Drogba, to hold the ball and the defender on his back. Nor to take the ball and dribble past everyone. But as a winger, 'no.9', or 'no.10', he has to run.

Previously, Karim Benzema advised Mbappé to not give up at Real Madrid. Reports suggest that the Madrid coach, Carlo Ancelotti, is unhappy with Kylian and considers him a major issue for the team.
