Kylian Mbappe's far-from-ideal start to life with Real Madrid continued after Tuesday's 3-1 defeat at home to Milan in the UEFA Champions League inflicted a second league phase loss on the defending titleholders at Santiago Bernabeu.

Real Madrid legend Karim Benzema sent a warning to his successor and compatriot Kylian Mbappe during an appearance on Spanish television.

Legendary Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema has given his take on the early struggles Kylian Mbappe has had at The Bernabeu since his free transfer switch from PSG over the summer. The France international sealed his long-awaited move to Real – a club he always dreamed of playing for – after allowing his contract with the Ligue 1 champions to expire.

Kylian Mbappe has failed to score in his last five games for Real Madrid, though Karim Benzema believes he must adapt to his central role.

Kylian Mbappe, who joined Real Madrid from PSG this season, has scored eight goals in 14 appearances. But more alarmingly for the Spanish giants, he has managed just one goal in his past five games.

Real Madrid legend Karim Benzema criticized the decision to hand the Ballon d'Or to Rodri and said that his former teammate Vinicius is "sad" over being snubbed.

Karim Benzema believes Vinicius Junior is the reason why Kylian Mbappe has struggled to dazzle since his free transfer from PSG to Real Madrid in the summer.
