Former Real Madrid star Gareth Bale has slammed the performances of the duo of Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe against Liverpool in Tuesday’s Champions League.
Recall that Real Madrid fell 1-0 at Anfield against Liverpool, in a match that could have ended with a wider margin if not for the brilliance of Thibaut Courtois.
In a chat with CBS Sports, Bale stated that Mbappe and Vinicius lacked that vital spark needed to create real magic on the pitch.

“It was a bit disappointing that in that final third, there wasn’t really that kind of quality that you expect from Real Madrid players.
“It’s frustrating, I think they overcomplicate things. Sometimes they just need to try and test the defender. They are clearly faster than anyone else on the pitch.
“But I think maybe they don’t do it because there’s no one else in the box waiting for the crosses. Maybe they need that reference number nine.”
