Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé faced criticism after failing to deliver in their 2-0 Champions League loss to Liverpool at Anfield. The highly anticipated clash saw Mbappé miss a crucial penalty, as his underwhelming form for Los Blancos persisted.
With Real trailing after Alexis Mac Allister’s second-half strike, a penalty offered a lifeline when Lucas Vázquez was fouled by Andy Robertson.
However, Mbappé’s spot-kick was saved by Liverpool’s backup goalkeeper, Caoimhín Kelleher, adding to the Frenchman’s struggles in a forgettable night.
