the negative spiral continues for Kylian Mbappé with another missed penalty and an embarrassing defeat against Athletic Club

The Madrilenians, who could come back to within one point of Barça at the top of La Liga, lost (2-1) on the Bilbao pitch.

Clearly, the matches follow one another and are similar for Kylian Mbappé. Still starting with Real Madrid, Wednesday December 4, during the advanced match counting for the 19th day of La Liga against Athletic Club, the captain of the France team was not reassured. Quite the contrary. He notably missed a new penalty after the one already missed in Liverpool last week in the Champions League (0-2).

Often too greedy in his dribbles, and still incapable of making a real difference either in his position of number 9 or even by taking his left lane to transplant into the axis, the Merengue star has made a new copy particularly worrying. And in the end, his Real conceded their second defeat of the season in the league, losing 2 goals to 1, while they had the opportunity to come back to within a small point of Barça, leader of La Liga.

Three days after scoring a nice goal, in “his own way”, against Getafe, Kylian Mbappé fell back into his mistakes, in a closed offensive system with two attackers (with Rodrygo), and where he still struggled to find his points. brands despite the excellent support of Jude Bellingham. Moreover, if the Englishman was able to equalize (78th), before seeing Federico Valverde lose a fatal ball for the White House (81st, 2-1), it was on the Frenchman's only flash in this game. On a powerful strike from the left and pushed back into the feet of his English teammate. Far too insufficient for Kylian Mbappé who is, most certainly, experiencing the worst period of his career.

The Madrid club (2nd, 33 points), which had relaunched itself in the title race by taking advantage of the missteps of its great rival FC Barcelona (1st, 37 points), once again finds itself four lengths behind the leader, with however a late match to play in Valencia. The Basques consolidate their fourth place, qualifying for the Champions League, with 29 points.
