Mbappé and Vinicius, the dark threat
Kylian Mbappé continues to wait to score on a direct free kick, despite the superb victorious French goal on a kick stopped against Leganes.

While the score was 2-2, Mbappé took a free kick from the entrance to the surface, wrapping a superb victorious shot. Mbappé never scored on a direct free kick and, even if some supporters said that this attempt was finally the right one, it could technically be false.

According to the IFAB regulation published on the FA website, ”
the ball is at stake when it is kicked and it moves clearly ». This suggests that Mbappé, who pulled the free kick after riding the ball to Fran Garcia for a small combination, marked in the game.

Mbappé has still not marked a free kick

Supporters on social networks were unleashed in front of this goal, saying that Mbappé had finally scored on a direct free kick. However, to the question ” Did Mbappé marked on a free kick? “, Some always answer “no”.

Real Madrid will play his next match on Tuesday evening: he will receive Real Sociedad in the semi-final return of the King's Cup, which he already leads 1-0. He will then face Valence in Liga next Saturday.
