The improvement will once again be short-lived. Four days after his failure at Liverpool in the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé had indeed raised his head in La Liga on Sunday during the reception of Getafe. More leggy and enterprising, he even scored Madrid’s second goal, even receiving the man of the match trophy at the end of the match.
This recovery called for confirmation and the opportunity was given to him this Wednesday in Bilbao for the 13th day of La Liga. Alas, like a week ago at Anfield, the Bondynois delivered a disastrous performance, multiplying bad choices and technical approximations. And like a week ago against the Reds, the former Parisian missed a penalty which would have allowed Real Madrid to return to 1-1 in the second half.
Kylian Mbappé recognizes “a big mistake”
The Merengue equalized a few minutes later thanks to Jude Bellingham, taking advantage of a ball poorly repelled by the Basque goalkeeper after a shot from the French world champion, but the Basques, dominant, logically won 2-1 thanks to a loss of ball by Federico Valverde. The Merengue did not shine at San Mames but Kylian Mbappé, who will speak on Sunday in an interview with Clique, published a message to take responsibility for this defeat.
“Bad result. A big mistake in a match where every detail counts. I take full responsibility for it. A difficult moment but it’s the best time to change the situation and show who I am”he wrote after the meeting in a story posted, in English, on his Instagram account. A rare message from the Frenchman, who had the habit of remaining silent after his failed matches.
