Clearly, Kylian Mbappé is having trouble with penalties at the moment. A week after missing his attempt against Liverpool (defeat, 2-0), in the Champions League, the number 9 of Real Madrid saw his attempt stopped by Julen Agirrezabala during the defeat of the Merengues against Athletic Club (2-1), this Wednesday, in La Liga. Questioned after the meeting by La Cadena Serthe 23-year-old goalkeeper savored his feat, determining his team’s victory.
“ 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. I had no preference (compared to the shooter). Ultimately, it’s up to them. Each player has their own way of shooting. (Jude) Bellingham looks more at the goalkeeper, but (Kylian) Mbappé, I knew where he was going to go. Luckily he went where I told him to go “, he confided. With this victory, Athletic Club (4th) comes back to 4 points behind Real (2nd) in the La Liga standings.
