After his defeat during the Madrid derby, Real Madrid revived Saturday evening by winning at home against Villarreal (2-1). A match in which Kylian MbappĂ© scored a goal, while Vinicius offered himself a double, in particular by transforming a penalty (69th) – even though the French striker, a regular shooter for this exercise, was still on the field.

At a press conference, Xabi Alonso left clear that the former PSG is indeed the number 1 shooter. “They decided tonight, but the penalty shooter is and will remain MbappĂ©. This is what we want “he said. The Brazilian strike was missing insurance, and the opposing goalkeeper did not pass far from pushing the ball.
