Kylian Mbappe's Club SM Caen Struggles in French Third Tier
Poor Form Continues for SM Caen
The takeover of SM Caen by Kylian Mbappe was supposed to signal a new dawn for the Normandy club, but the reality has been far bleaker. Fayza Lamari, mother of the Real Madrid and France superstar, has issued a blunt assessment of the current campaign.
Underwhelming Performance This Season
Currently sitting in a mediocre eighth place in the National standings, SM Caen are far removed from the promotion race they were expected to lead.
