When Kylian Mbappe opens up his phone this morning he will be greeted by a spectacular barrage of social media posts mocking his display in Real Madrid ‘s defeat to Liverpool .
The two European giants faced off in the Champions League on Wednesday night in a repeat of the 2018 and 2022 finals but the Reds looked a class above their Spanish opponents.
Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo were on target for Arne Slot’s men , who are enjoying a dream first season under the Dutchman, leading both the Premier League and Champions
And, despite Mbappe seeing his penalty saved by Caoimhin Kelleher when the score was still 1-0, Madrid never really looked like taking anything from the game as their poor form in Europe continued.
The missed spot-kick was the tip of the iceberg for the Frenchman, who struggled throughout against a sturdy Liverpool defence.
And, unsurprisingly, fans have taken to social media to create a barrage of memes about Mbappe’s miserable evening, comparing the star falling on his head to a performance from Olympic breakdancer RayGun.
Kylian Mbappe’s hard evening in Liverpool was summed up by a photo of him falling on his head.
The French forward failed to impress in his favoured left-wing role as Real Madrid fell to defeat.

The 25-year-old was hit by a heavy tackle from Virgil van Dijk which sent him flying into the air and eventually caused him to land on his head.
Reacting to the incident, Redmen TV said: ‘Van Dijk turned Mbappe into Raygun.’
Meanwhile Popworld Liverpool’s account posted a picture of their nightclub with Arne Slot superimposed in front of the building next to Mbappe standing on his head with the caption, ‘Town?’ seemingly comparing the Reds boss to a bouncer and the Real forward to a drunken reveller.
Football on TNT Sports’s official account also joined in on the joke, saying: ‘Van Dijk turned Mbappe upside down.’
Troll Football posted a picture of Mbappe on his head in front of a screenshot of the top half of the Champions League table, suggesting that the Frenchman was searching for his side in the standings.
The account added the caption: ‘Mbappé is going down to find the Real Madrid in the table.’
LFC Transfer Room said that the picture of the striker looked like he was ‘falling out of Conor Bradley’s pocket when he gets home’.
Mbappe even came under fire from San Marino, the lowest ranked football team in the world.
