Scorer in the victory against Getafe, Kylian Mbappé did not take Real Madrid’s first penalty, and left the second, ultimately canceled, to Rodrygo, before Carlo Ancelotti intervened. In Spain, he is mainly criticized for not having taken his responsibilities.
If he found the net again on Sunday during Real Madrid’s victory against Getafe (2-0), scoring his 10th goal in all competitions four days after a completely failed performance, like his penalty, in Liverpool in the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé obviously did not succeed in everything, although he could have scored his very first hat-trick with the Merengue club. Before he doubled the lead in the 38th minute, Real had a first penalty after half an hour of play.
And despite the absence of Vinicius, usual in charge of the exercise, it was Jude Bellingham who took care of it. After the break, the European champions were awarded another penalty kick. And while Lucas Vazquez had given the ball to Mbappé to shoot, Rodrygo wanted to take charge. “Do you want to shoot?” the captain of the Blues then asked him. Their coach then intervened to tell the Brazilian to let the former Parisian shoot, and he did so by giving him the ball back.
Guti: “He must be a leader”
The referee eventually reversed this decision, canceling the penalty. But the images of this scene between the two Madrid attackers have people talking on the other side of the Pyrenees. Where we fear a “penaltygate”, like the one between Mbappé and Neymar at PSG in 2022. In Spain, we especially blame the Frenchman, perhaps still marked by his failure at Anfield, for not having wanted to take the first shot repair foot.
“You have to break this insecurity and you have to do it now with this type of thing. It will be done with this type of detail. Even if he can miss a penalty, you have to take it, said the former Madrilenian Guti on the set of the show El Chiringuito Nothing happens if you miss a penalty, nothing should be learned from Kylian’s failure at Liverpool on the penalty spot. Everyone expects more from him, but if he misses it against. Getafe, he Nothing happens, absolutely nothing. It gives you strength to take this type of penalty, it’s a way of showing his character.
