Let's see the positive: there is no “penaltygate” in Real Madrid. Since the start of the season, this is going pretty well between the Merengues attackers when their team has obtained a penalty. While Carlo Ancelotti has decided not to decide anything, Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Jr share the task, sometimes leaving Jude Bellingham to offer himself a little pleasure.
On Saturday, against Valencia, Mbappé quickly obtained the 14th penalty of the season for Real Madrid, being unbalanced by César Terraga while it was going to the goal. Le Bondynois marked the last three penalties of his team in Liga. But, this time, he left the ball to Vinicius Jr.
A bad idea. The Brazilian remained on his side on a failure against Atlético in the Champions League. He still missed his attempt, with a strike at the ground easily pushed by Giorgi Mamardashvili, who left on the right side.
Mbappé-Vinicius, it is expensive
On arrival, it is expensive for Real Madrid. Just after this missed of Vinicius Jr, Valence opened the scoring by French Mouctar Diakhaby. The Merengues managed to equalize in the second half, by Vinicius Jr, who managed to redeem himself. But the Madrilenians were surprised in additional time (1-2), for a well-being in the title race.
Real Madrid is now preparing for its trip to the Arsenal field on Tuesday evening, in the quarter -round of the Champions League. We bet that if the Merengues get a new penalty, we will see Kylian Mbappé appearing facing the ball …
