Wednesday evening in Bilbao in the advanced match of the 19e
day of La Liga, Real lost (2-1) and Mbappé missed a penalty – like a week earlier against Liverpool in the Champions League (2-0 defeat that evening). “ Bad result. A big mistake in a match where every detail counts. I take full responsibility for it. A difficult moment, but it's the best time to change the situation and show who I am “, reacted the captain of the Blues on social networks. Without necessarily convincing in view of the writings of the Spanish press.
“We’ll see if he can withstand the pressure”
