It was a fantastic vision in the minds of all Liverpool fans. The idea of Kylian Mbappe, Mo Salah, and possibly Sadio Mané, Roberto Firmino, or Luis Diaz joining forces to unleash an unparalleled show of offensive strength in the league was truly thrilling.

However, Mbappé has made his decision. The French star is now playing for Real Madrid, teaming up with Vinicius Jr., Jude Bellingham, and others to attempt to revive the Galacticos era.

However, Mbappe's beginning to this season hasn't been entirely smooth sailing. The French player has scored five goals in Madrid's 11 matches so far this season.

Although scoring a goal in every other match is a decent achievement, it doesn't quite measure up to the impressive 12 goals that Robert Lewandowski has for Barcelona. Additionally, Barcelona is currently leading Real Madrid at the top of La Liga.

Mbappe has been facing criticism regarding his work ethic in Spain right now, a concern that has been an issue for him for several years.

Liverpool icon Steve Nicol shared his thoughts on the ESPN FC show, stating that Mbappe won't go down in history as an “all-time great.”

While discussing a clip of Luis Enrique advising Mbappe to put in more effort on defense during the final weeks of last season with PSG, Nicol made an analogy referencing Michael Jordan. He stated:

"I believe that having to go through that indicates that this person is likely not going to pay attention to anything you say."

Luis Enrique discussed with Kylian Mbappe the importance of putting in the effort to track back and defend, as well as the value of staying humble.

He was genuinely discussing Michael Jordan's greatness and what he accomplished to reach the top.

Take a moment to consider everything that’s been said, and you'll understand why Coach Luis Enrique deserves your respect. Mbappé, you're not a true leader.

Reflecting on how Kenny Dalglish is celebrated as a legend at Anfield because of his dedication, Nicol remarked,

"The only people who truly get it are the teammates playing alongside you. I can guarantee that not a single one of them believes that [Mbappe] would go all out for them."

"If Mbappé continues on his current path, he'll certainly be recognized as a fantastic player, but it's unlikely he'll be considered one of the greatest of all time."

Following an unexpected defeat to Lille in the Champions League last week, Real Madrid has been showing signs of struggle in this early part of the season. The team appeared rather uninspired during the match, and now it’s up to their star players to help revive their performance.
