Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti and the players didn't want the club to sign Kylian Mappe, according to a former France star.
Mbappe joined Los Blancos on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain, with the Spanish club having already won the UEFA Champions League and LALIGA the season before.
The Frenchman has scored eight goals in 16 matches so far, but he has not been able to gel with the rest of the team as he would prefere to play on the left wing, which is occupied by Vinicius.

France World Cup winner Emmanuel Petit claims his countryman should've joined Liverpool as Vinicius and Jude Bellingham are already the stars of the show.
"I'm sure that Carlo Ancelotti and several Real Madrid players didn't want the club to sign Kylian Mbappe in the summer," Petit told Casino Hawks.
"This was a dressing room who had just won La Liga and the Champions League and his arrival has only brought trouble.Ancelotti was on top of the world after winning the Champions League and I think he would've liked two or three players to fit into his squad but no big changes.
"When you win big trophies you build happiness and bringing in big egos changes things. The biggest problem for Mbappe is having two team-mates who also want to be the star of the show and want to win the Ballon d'Or in Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Jr."
He added: "It's too early to say if Kylian Mbappe would've been better off joining Liverpool, he's just got to show that he has the character and mental strength to put things right. He needs to show that he can be as strong as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo mentality to find his consistency, he needs to show that he has real character and personality on the pitch."
