Kylian Mbappé still can’t get his head above water. In difficulty since his arrival at Real Madrid this summer, the French world champion did not help his case on Wednesday evening on the pitch at Athletic Bilbao, where the Menregue lost 2-1 in La Liga.
Like in Liverpool last week, the kid from Bondy missed a penalty which could have changed the course of the game. And as at Anfield, the Frenchman shot to the left of the goalkeeper, who stopped his attempt. At the end of the match, Julen Agirrezabala did not hide his joy at having won his duel against Kylian Mbappé, pushing the latter a little further.
“Mbappé, I knew where he was going to shoot”
“It was clear to me where I was going to dive, what I didn’t know was what he was going to do. Seeing the penalty at Anfield I thought he was going to shoot the same way and luckily I did and was able to save the penalty », Confided the 23-year-old Basque doorman at the microphone of Cadena SER.
And to add: “IHe had no preference (regarding the shooter, editor’s note). Ultimately, it’s up to them. Each player has their own way of shooting. Bellingham looks more at the goalkeeper, but Mbappé, I knew where he was going to shoot. Luckily he went where I told him to go.
» Terrible for Mbappé.
