Kylian Mbappe had the ball in the back of the net twice against FC Barcelona. But both times, he was ruled out offside. Ultimately, that is the closest Real Madrid would come to breaching the defence of Hansi Flick's high-flying side who got themselves a statement 4-0 win at Santiago Bernabeu thanks to a brace from Robert Lewandowski as well as goals from Lamine Yamal and Raphinha.

Barcelona are looking unstoppable right now. They got a 4-1 win against Bayern Munich as well, in midweek in the Champions League.

But even then, Real Madrid should have done much better. Losing 4-0 at home to your biggest rivals is never acceptable for Los Blancos and improvements need to take place moving forward.

Mbappe is someone who had a nightmare time against the Barcelona defence. According to ESPN FC, he had a career-high 8 offsides in El Clasico.

It would be an understatement to say that Barcelona's offside trap did wonders on the day. But at the same time, a player of Mbappe's quality and experience should have made the necessary adjustments.

Real Madrid fans were clearly not happy with the Frenchman's performance against Barcelona. And they made their feelings known on social media:

This will go down as one of the worst performances of Mbappe's career. That is for sure. But he was not the only one who let Real Madrid down on the day.

Vinicius Jr, who is likely to win the Ballon d'Or soon, did not play like a player of that level. As for the defence, conceding four goals is inexcusable at Real Madrid, no matter how good the opposition.

We would be remiss if we did not point out that Real Madrid were missing key players as well. But to be brutally honest, their presence might not have made much of a difference.
