Johan Micoud: “I would never hit a player who misses a penalty. On the other hand, his match is quite sad”

In The Evening Team, Johan Micoud

consultant, looked back on the Champions League day and in particular Real Madrid's 2-0 defeat at Liverpool. Kylian Mbappé was disappointing and also missed a penalty. The subject was:

Mbappé misses a penalty: Is this all you remember from the match?

“I will never come across someone who misses a penalty. Even if he shows a little too much where he's going to shoot. There's something I don't understand: in his run, he looks at the goalkeeper all the way, until he gets to the ball. He lowers his head and strikes. I don't understand the point of doing that actually. If you look at the goalkeeper, you go all the way before hitting, to see if he goes one way or the other. But I will never hit a player who misses a penalty. On the other hand, his match is quite sad. I didn't watch 90 minutes either, fixed on the screen… If the Real match is sad? Yes, but every time Mbappé is not good, we say it's the team. When he had the ball, I didn't see any difference. He was well taken by the Liverpool defenders. He made some contacts through Van Dijk. But it's becoming worrying.
