The report claims that Mbappe feels Los Blancos' current style is a contrast of how Paris Saint-Germain played , with the player not at his current best.

Mbappe is playing the number nine role while Vinicius Junior has occupied his usual left wing position, which is the former's proffered role.

Benzema has told Mbappe that he has to get used to playing the number nine position as Ancelotti won't move Vinicius, who he has deemed as the best in the world.

"What can I say to Kylian… He shouldn't give up," Bnzema said, as per Mundo Deportivo.

"Because I don't think he will move Vinicius, because he is the best in the world at the moment, and he can't be moved, that much is true. Mbappe has to get it into his head that he is a nine now, and forget about the left. And he has to move with Vinicius, if Vinicius comes inside, he goes out, and switch a lot."

"Mbappe is very, very, very good from the left, but he has to understand he can be very good in other areas of the pitch."
