Real Madrid missed another opportunity to assert their leadership in La Liga after a frustrating draw against Girona at Montilivi (1-1). Kylian Mbappé, scorer from the penalty spot but clumsy in added time, expressed his disappointment on the networks. “It’s not the result we wanted tonight. But La Liga continues and it is very long. We need to change the dynamic and show who we are as a team”he published in an Instagram story. The Merengue club thus sees the lead that it had consolidated after the Clásico crumble, and which was reduced over the course of three trips without a victory (Vallecas, Elche then Girona), while Barça continues to succeed despite all.
Despite his recent quadruple against Olympiakos, Mbappé struggled to influence the game in Catalonia: little found by his teammates, he came up against the local defense and saw a goal disallowed for a preliminary handball. The Frenchman tried several times, without managing to make a difference, with the exception of the penalty. It is therefore in San Mamés, against Athletic in the middle of the week, that Real Madrid can now hope “change the dynamic”.
