If he scored on Sunday against Getafe, Kylian Mbappé also saw Rodrygo take the ball from him at the time of the second penalty that Real Madrid was preparing to take.
Kylian Mbappé and Real Madrid got a little respite on Sunday. Four days after the lesson learned in Liverpool in the Champions League and the non-match delivered by the Bondynois, the Merengue club took advantage of the visit of Getafe to return to victory and the former Parisian to find the net again.
The French world champion could even have scored a double since before scoring with a beautiful strike from outside the area, he could have opened the scoring from the penalty spot. But after his failure against the Reds, Kylian Mbappé preferred to step aside in favor of Jude Bellingham. Later in the match, the Merengue club won a second penalty before it was finally canceled.
But while this time he seemed determined to shoot it, Rodrygo advanced towards him to take the ball. Kylian Mbappé did not want to make a fuss and seemed ready to let him shoot, giving him the ball. But that was without counting on Carlo Ancelotti, who hardly enjoyed this scene and intervened from a distance to calm the enthusiasm of his young Brazilian. He understood the message well and returned the ball without snubbing, even slipping a word of encouragement to his partner:
” trust “. And this before the penalty was finally canceled.
Kylian's selflessness praised by Carlo Ancelotti
Present at a press conference on Tuesday, on the eve of the Copa del Rey clash against Athletic Bilbao, Carlo Ancelotti returned to this sequence, taking the opportunity to praise the Frenchman. “We greatly appreciate this act of altruism. It means that a player with extraordinary talent, perhaps the greatest in football, uses it for the benefit of the team. It's something that I really appreciate.” he slipped after returning to the sharing of penalties between Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham in the absence of Vinicius.
“Tomorrow (Wednesday against Bilbao), they will both choose, Bellingham or Mbappé. I think this is not a subject for debate. Mbappé's action on the penalty with Getafe can be seen as a sign of insecurity, but we see it as an act of responsibility and altruism and these are two very important aspects for us, he whispered. The altruism of a great talent like Mbappé is an act that we greatly value. »
