Kylian Mbappé is definitely suffering in Madrid. This Wednesday still in difficulty in the game against Athletic Bilbao in an advanced match counting for the 19e day of La Liga, the Blues striker could have saved his performance by finding himself alone against the opposing goalkeeper, at the penalty spot. In vain.

Like eight days earlier against Liverpool in the Champions League, the former Parisian chose to strike on the right side, by opening his foot, halfway up – a shot too easily readable for Basque goalkeeper Julen Agirrezabala (68e). And as against the Reds, this failed act did not allow his team to pick up the score, at 1-1.

Last weekend in the league against Getafe (2-0 victory for the White House), Kylian Mbappé preferred to leave it to Jude Bellingham to open the scoring from the penalty spot, half an hour into the game. had not stopped signing the break with a nice long shot placed in stride.
