A Real legend to the rescue of Mbappé

Mbappé has taken the penalties for Madrid this season, but the Frenchman missed a penalty against Liverpool midweek in the Champions League. In Los Blancos’ 2-0 win over Getafe in La Liga on Sunday, Jude Bellingham scored from the penalty spot and Mbappé also scored a goal.

Now, Carlo Ancelotti has explained who the first choice is in terms of penalty taker, while explaining what happens when the injured Vinicius Junior returns to fitness.

Real still in the race

He told reporters after the victory: “ Vinicius (Junior) was not there and the order is Mbappé or Vini, and today it was Bellingham or Mbappé. And both chose Bellingham. »

Despite all the talk about Mbappé’s difficulties adapting to Madrid and the club’s injury problems, the Whites are just one point behind league leaders Barcelona and have a game in hand. Even if they are disappointing in the Champions League, the Madrilenians are in a good position in the race for the La Liga title.
