And one, and two, and three matches without a goal for Kylian Mbappé. As in his first two appearances in La Liga, the Bondy player did not find the fault on Thursday evening, during a match where Real Madrid lost two new points on the pitch of Las Palmas (1-1).
Mbappé’s match was still pretty average, to say the least. The French striker seemed quite willing, but he still has trouble combining with his new partners. For the French center forward, there was also little space in the Las Palmas defense.
Mbappé, no penalty to save his stats
To make matters worse, Mbappé was unable to save his record by taking the penalty won in the second half by Real Madrid. This confirms that Vinicius Jr should remain the Merengues’ number 1 shooter this season, he who had succeeded in his three attempts in this exercise in 2023-2024, after taking over from Karim Benzema in this exercise.
Too bad for Mbappé, who could have improved his stats with this easy-to-obtain goal. The captain of the French team was the penalty taker for Paris Saint-Germain last season, which allowed him to score 11 goals in 13 attempts. His career success rate is just over 82% (42/51). Vinicius, for his part, is at 5/5 among professionals, also counting the one scored with Brazil in a friendly.
