'In a spiral of failure' - Kylian Mbappe told Real Madrid transfer was 'biggest mistake of his life' as World Cup winner passed up chance to be 'the boss' at PSG

Mbappe has faced criticism ever since he completed his much-hyped move from PSG to Real Madrid in the summer. The Frenchman, who was supposed to light up La Liga with his flair and flamboyance, has failed to live up to expectations so far. He once again came under fire after he missed a penalty in Los Blancos' 2-0 defeat to Liverpool in the Champions League last week.

Amid all the talk regarding the France captain's poor form, French television and radio presenter Cyril Hanouna - who is known to be close to PSG chief Nasser Al-Khelaifi - has claimed that the 25-year-old made a huge mistake by leaving the Ligue 1 champions as he could have become an icon in the French capital in the long run.

Speaking on the C8 channel, Hanouna said, "He made the biggest mistake of his life by going to Real Madrid. He is in a spiral of failure. Mbappe should have stayed at PSG, won the Champions League with this club, won the Ballon d'Or with it. The club gave him everything, it would have been his club. He would have been the boss at PSG."

Mbappe will hope to regain his form soon and will be next seen in action on Wednesday night as Carlo Ancelotti's side take on Athletic Club in an away fixture in La Liga.
