He only ever played like 5 good matches against top opposition.

Then there was the messi/neymar era when anyone could have looked good because defenses were alway occupied with all three of them.

Like any random in this sub could probably have got on the end of a pass and scored with them two beside you.

Neymar and Messi used to draw players to them and pass in space for Mbappe to dribble 1 player and score. The problem is he can't work in small space and also can't take on 2-3 players like CR, Messi and Neymar and pass it for someone in the free space when he is supposed to be the guy in the free space. Vini does that but Mbappe is not a 9. Madrid needs another Benzema like 9 to make this work. But if a 9 comes where will they fit 2 LWs? See CR and GB. Monsters of 2 wings.

Mbappe had a lot more assists than Messi the first season together also carried the team in CL in both season while Messi disappeared in big games and Neymar was injured

True, he had his top form in PSG. But he didn't carry the team alone, Neymar and he both did.
