Kylian Mbappe set unwanted record during Real Madrid's embarrassing defeat to Barcelona as troubles continue

The France international moved to the Santiago Bernabeu on a free transfer from PSG over the summer.

Kylian Mbappe was on the losing side as Real Madrid were humbled 4-0 by El Clasico rivals Barcelona - and the French striker set an unwanted record in the heavy defeat.

Mbappe moved to the Santiago Bernabeu in the summer on a free transfer following the expiration of his contract at Paris Saint-Germain.

The 25-year-old netted 256 goals in 308 games for PSG as the French side dominated Ligue 1, but were unable to win the Champions League, despite heavy investment.

Mbappe has 48 goals in 86 caps for France and was part of the squad which won the World Cup for the second time in 2018.

Since moving to Real over the summer, Mbappe has scored eight goals in 14 appearances across all competitions so far for Carlo Ancelotti's side.

However, Mbappe's first taste of the El Clasico fixture ended in disappointment for Real as Barca won 4-0 at the home of their fierce rivals.

Robert Lewandowski struck twice in the space of three minutes as Barcelona opened a two goal advantage not long after the break, which was added to by Lamine Yamal 13 minutes from full-time.

Raphinha then scored Barca's fourth goal in the closing stages to complete the thrashing as Hansi Flick's side opened up a six point advantage at the summit of La Liga ahead of Real.

Mbappe ended up playing the entire game in a front two alongside Vinicius Junior, as Real managed four shots on target overall but were unable to breach Barcelona's defence.

Barca meanwhile were far more clinical, scoring from four of their seven shots on target.

And in the encounter, Mbappe set himself an unwanted new record for himself as he was caught offside a total of eight times as Barcelona played a very high line, but did so expertly.

The striker did score twice in the clash, but both were ruled out for offside, and the six occasions in which the flag was raised for him in the first half was in fact more than any player in Europe's top five divisions so far this campaign.

And boss Carlo Ancelotti questioned Mbappe's performance in the encounter, raising the issues of him falling frequently offside and lacking a clinical finishing touch.

He said: "We knew that they played with a high line, and we just couldn’t take advantage of it.

"Sometimes (Mbappe) fell offside, but he had three or four chances to score and needed a better finishing touch."
