AS reveals the letter that Mbappe left in the dressing room after losing the penalty against Bilbao

Real Madrid's run of bad results continued at San Mames where Athletic Bilbao won 2-1.

It was the Madrid giants' fifth defeat in their last 11 games and it came with another poor performance from Kylian Mbappe.

But the situation could change soon, reports AS, revealing what happened after the match.

"In the dressing room, while the atmosphere was at its lowest level, Mbappe spoke individually with some outstanding players of the team", reports AS.

"He said the same thing to each of them. He apologized and showed his desire to become a real leader of the new team."

"Something happened, San Mames is the turning point of Mbappe's career at Real", the text emphasizes, and it is revealed that the French striker left a note on a piece of paper on the table after the defeat, which read: "I will show who I am".

"Mbappe's sudden and decisive change of attitude was very well received in the highest spheres of the club, but above all in the dressing rooms."

"It was a message that confirms that Mbappe can be the leader of the team", emphasizes AS and recalls Mbappe's two missed penalties in the last three games and many good chances not realized.

"But in the dressing room of San Mames, after the last defeat, something happened. "Mbappe reacted and came out in front of his teammates," the article concludes.

Mbappe scored 10 goals in 20 games for Real, but was among the weakest players in the big games that ended in defeat. /Telegraph/
