Failure against Bilbao
Automatically saved draft
Once again, Kylian Mbappe failed to score, and once again the Frenchman failed to score from the penalty spot. In Real Madrid's 2:1 defeat at Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday, the striker really didn't cut a good figure, with the Spanish newspaper "Marca" even describing it as a "horror movie".
"Another nightmare for Mbappe. He's starting to look like something out of a horror movie. After struggling for an hour without having anything to offer, the game offered him the chance for redemption and he was off again," the daily newspaper's match report read.
Background: Mbappe had the chance to make it 1-1 with a penalty in the 68th minute after a foul on Antonio Rüdiger, but the 25-year-old was denied by Bilbao keeper Julen Agirrezabala. Although Jude Bellingham equalized around ten minutes later, the game did not remain open for long. Gorka Guruzeta had the final say in the 80th minute and the Whites conceded their second defeat of the season.
"Taking full responsibility"
Mbappe, who moved to the Spanish capital in the summer, does not seem to have quite arrived at the La Liga champions yet. After missing a penalty in Liverpool last week, he was again unsuccessful. "It was a serious mistake in a game where it came down to small things. I take full responsibility", the striker criticized himself, but wants to look ahead. It was "a difficult moment, but the best time to change the situation and show who I am."
