Michel Platini claims that Kylian Mbappe is 'lost on the pitch' at Real Madrid but backs French star to respond following penalty miss against Liverpool

Michel Platini has claimed that Kylian Mbappe is 'lost on the pitch' at Real Madrid.

Mbappe has received much criticism for his performances for Real recently, especially with regards to his display in the Champions League defeat to Liverpool when he missed a penalty as his effort was saved by Caoimhin Kelleher.

The 25-year-old has scored just once in his last six appearances for Real in all competitions, with Platini admitting that his compatriot is in a difficult moment.

However, France legend Platini has backed Mbappe to respond and show that he is a 'great champion'.
