The pressure around Real Madrid continues to grow after a 1-1 draw away at Girona, a result that extended a worrying run and tightened the fight at the top of LaLiga EA Sports. With the mood turning tense inside and outside the dressing room, Kylian Mbappé chose this moment to speak publicly — a rare move that instantly amplified the message across the football world.

What Did Mbappé Say After The Draw In Montilivi?

Through his Instagram account — where he has more than 128 million followers — Mbappé posted a short but pointed reflection on the team’s situation.

“Not the result we wanted tonight. But the league is long.”

Then came the line that carried the most weight:

“We have to change the dynamic and show who we are as a team.”

It wasn’t an outburst, nor a complaint — but a controlled, direct warning. Mbappé rarely speaks after league matches unless he feels the moment demands it. The timing says everything: the team is slipping, and he wants action now.

How Did Mbappé Perform Against Girona?

The French star once again played a central role.
He scored Real Madrid’s only goal, converting a penalty with his usual calmness, but also experienced a controversial moment when his second goal was disallowed. In the 40th minute, Ricardo De Burgos Bengoetxea annulled a potential brace after VAR confirmed a handball before his shot.

Even so, Mbappé’s numbers continue to be absurd:

23 goals and 3 assists in 19 matches across all competitions.

No other Real Madrid player comes close to that output, but his brilliance hasn’t been enough to cover the team’s structural issues: defensive inconsistency, poor control in key phases and a worrying lack of authority away from home.

Why Does Mbappé’s Message Matter Right Now?

Because it arrives at the exact moment when Real Madrid’s season is starting to tilt.
The team that once felt comfortable at the top now senses FC Barcelona breathing down their necks. The dressing room had not yet received a statement this direct from its biggest star.

Mbappé’s message carries two layers:

• The current level is far from what Real Madrid demand.
• The reaction must happen immediately.

With Xabi Alonso trying to restore balance, the defence leaking too many goals and the attack relying heavily on Mbappé’s individual magic, the Frenchman stepping up to speak publicly is no coincidence.

It’s leadership.
It’s urgency.
It’s pressure from inside.

LaLiga may be long, but Real Madrid’s margin for error is shrinking fast — and Mbappé’s words felt like a reminder that if things don’t change soon, the title that once looked secure could easily slip away.
