The La Liga title race was still eventful this weekend. During the reception of Valence on Saturday afternoon, Real Madrid fell completely and conceded the defeat in the last moments after being in difficulty throughout the game (1-2). A few hours later, FC Barcelona could not do better than a draw against Real Betis, sufficient to keep four points ahead of the Merengues, eight days from the end.
But in Spain, this new setback conceded by Real Madrid worries a lot and, in addition to Carlo Ancelotti, it was Vinicius Jr who was notably pointed out for his missed penalty at the start of the game, which was at the origin of the opening of the Valencia score. Marca was also very critical with the Brazilian: “You can't draw a penalty like that of Vinícius, weak and almost in the middle. We do not know if the final score would have changed completely, but the truth is that of a possible 1-0, the score went to 0-1 in a minute ”.
The Spanish press requires Kylian Mbappé
AS Returns to his statistics, specifying that “Last season, the team scored six out of ten goals. Vinicius marked them all (four). Today, this certainty is again questioned. And everything suggests that it is Mbappé who must assume this responsibility. I did not understand that Vini insisted to shoot. The current big scorer of the team is Mbappé and he also fights for the Pichichi with Lewandowski ”assures the newspaper.
After the meeting, Carlo Ancelotti was also in the direction of the Madrid media, specifying that “The season was difficult, Bellingham missed, Mbappé missed, Vinicius missed … I wanted to give him confidence. We lost this match on these little details. Real Madrid deserved to win without a doubt. If Mbappé should be the main penalty shooter? We will see ”. Vinicius Jr therefore seems to have lost his place as a detected shooter after this new failure, he who had failed greatly during the eighth finals return from the Champions League against Atlético.
