Ancelotti will now appoint a shooter
One of the highlights of the match was the missed penalty by Jude Bellingham, while Kylian Mbappé left him the ball to get his team back on track. Mbappé, Vinicius, Bellingham… The agreement seems cordial to designate a different shooter each time. Except that there are many failures.

It was a great game from him, he didn't lose faith after missing the penalty, it gave him extra motivation. The last 30 minutes could only have been achieved by him. He made an extraordinary effort. It's a well-deserved reward for the match he played. »
