Real Madrid, EDF: Kylian Mbappé suffers from a small sprain

Yesterday, after four Clasicos lost in 2024/2025, Real Madrid finally won against FC Barcelona (2-1). Scorer, Kylian Mbappé was logically praised by the Spanish and international press. However, the Frenchman could have scored a double from the penalty spot in the second period.

Unfortunately for him, Blaugrana goalkeeper Wojciech Szczęsny decided otherwise. And according to the Stats Foot account, this missed penalty from Mbappé is historic. Indeed, the captain of the Blues is the first Real Madrid player to miss a penalty against Barça in an official competition since June 8, 1991 and the failure of Emilio Butragueño.
