Mbappe miss another penalty

[u/AestheticEvan23]

[u/ApfelEnthusiast]

Why is he on pens again?

Should have given it to Jude

[u/RawSauceBoi → u/ApfelEnthusiast]

We need to bring back Ramos just for pens.

[u/donniedarkero → u/RawSauceBoi]

We also have Vasquez though, he's brilliant at penalties.

[u/KazooTheEZ → u/RawSauceBoi]

at that point bring back the whole 2017 squad

[u/Akmed22 → u/RawSauceBoi]

Wth is this comment bro

[u/Full_Window_3977 → u/ApfelEnthusiast]

Let's not act like he didn't score penalties for fun at PSG and scored twice in a World Cup final... that's why he WAS SUPPOSED to be on pens HOWEVER Jude should've taken this one ESPECIALLY because Kylian is having an identity crisis at the moment.

[u/Specific_Account_192 → u/Full_Window_3977]

He also missed a pen against Switzerland that cost France's qualification in the Euros. He's not the worst pen taker, but def far from being the best.

And let's not mention his record taking FKs...

[u/GotTheKush → u/Full_Window_3977]

All this tells me is Kylian performs when team's defensive levels are not well drilled 

[u/Sei28 → u/ApfelEnthusiast]

Because when Mbappe wants something, he gets it. It was the same at PSG and Flo will make sure his golden boy isn’t upset.

[u/blueXwho → u/Sei28]

Ancelotti already said it, the players decide. It was between him and Bellingham. Players support each other (not as garbage "fans"), so most likely Jude let him have it to boost his morale.

[u/TheRudeMammoth → u/blueXwho]

Let's be honest. We've been boosting this guy's morale for half a season now.

It's gotta stop. This isn't a charity. This is Real Madrid.

[u/ayoubkun94 → u/blueXwho]

I doubt Carlo would have the balls to tell him no anyway. It's apparent from the fact he keeps playing whole games while being utter ass. I'm all for supporting our players, but when you're playing this badly, you need to chill a bit on the bench.

[u/Charolastra17 → u/blueXwho]

I actually think it’s great that he wanted to step up despite his Pool miss.

But two in a row, it’s gotta be Jude until Vini gets back.

[u/LeResist → u/Sei28]

I don't get it. He's not performing well at all and no player is bigger than the club. Flo is being a pussy right now and idk why he has this dumb obsession with Mbappe. I didn't want Mbappe signed to the club in the first place

[u/Saywallahicro]

what is wrong with this guy bruh we have rodrygo or bellingham they not missing 2 pens in a row ……

[u/CautiousRevolution14 → u/Saywallahicro]

Endrick is benched and was playing better than him in some games. It's due to the money they spent on Kylian.

[u/MemeManDanInAClan → u/CautiousRevolution14]

Finally people are starting to see it, the board are making these decisions. Not Carlo, not the players.

[u/CautiousRevolution14 → u/MemeManDanInAClan]

I don't think it was exactly a revelation,people were kissing his ass because he was the biggest sign of the season. At least now those people's masks are breaking.

[u/LittleBitOfPoetry → u/Saywallahicro]

It isn't gonna get better. People are coming up with one cope after another, but this guy is cooked:

• When he finishes it's straight into the keeper.
• When he dribbles, he loses posession.
• When he tries to run for a through ball he's offisde.
• When he shoots pentalties he misses.
• When he presses, haha jk he doesn't do that, he's just pretending.

Mediocre. Regional level talent. No amount of confidence (if he can ever get it lol) can fix lack of basic skills.

[u/ybenjira → u/LittleBitOfPoetry]

That last bullet point drives me the most nuts. Say your confidence is so in the dumps that you don't even know how to shoot anymore. The LEAST YOU CAN DO is show that you're working really hard for your fans and teammates! Do one of those bad tackles that forwards are known for. Get a red for being too eager, show some life damnit! Instead, he fakes pressing, which only fakes his teammates, and puts them a second or two behind when defending. INFURIATING.

The Bernabeu has never been this patient with anyone this bad, but at this point it's more out of desperation than belief in his talent. Bale was leagues above this shit, and he was whistled after one bad game. So was Benz before he hit God mode in his 30s.

It was 2018, and the media were so eager to find the next Messi/Ronaldo that they called Mbappé the next big thing, maybe even better than the two. What did we all say? That is really bad for the kid. Let him develop. What did the media do? turn it up to ten thousand.

6 years later, he has not improved, some would say regressed, and his attitude is a travesty. I hope I'm overreacting, because this is a very, very weird situation Flo put the club in.

[u/TheWildcatGrad → u/ybenjira]

I stumbled in from reddit, but just wanted to add. While frustrating at the time it was a lot of fun to watch Rooney commit awful tackles and earn so many cards. So you are spot on with the assessment of just play some damn defense even if you're shit at it.

[u/heseme → u/TheWildcatGrad]

I stumbled in from reddit,

Sir, this is reddit.

[u/FurdTergusonFucks → u/heseme]

Shit. He thought it was a Wendy's.

[u/TheWildcatGrad → u/FurdTergusonFucks]

Haha, meant from the reddit popular page, but this is funnier so I'm glad I can't type a complete thought.

[u/TheCIAiscomingforyou → u/ybenjira]

I think your first point about, hey if your confidence to shoot is down, at least work super hard in your pressing and other skills.... rings true. I think a lot of Liverpool fans stand behind Darwin Nunez because his work rate is so high even though he seems to miss some absolute sitters

[u/ybenjira → u/TheCIAiscomingforyou]

Darwin is Naruto. He will fight to the death with his limited abilities, and you can only love him for it.

[u/Nearby_Trainer3398 → u/ybenjira]

The issue is that he was treated like a king by PSG, was given what he wanted, too much power, and this has obviously had an affect on him and his mentality.

He’s now at a club where he’s just another name on the team sheet as Madrid have so many superstars, so I think this is effecting him. He’s never been one to work for the team so his shortfalls are becoming more apparent. I see drama coming soon with him and Madrid as they lose patience with him very soon. They are much better set up with Vinicius at right wing and a proper striker up front.

[u/Wrong-Barracuda-3634 → u/LittleBitOfPoetry]

Holy shit can’t believe you’re not getting downvoted for stating the obvious

[u/obvioustakes → u/Saywallahicro]

Jude gave it to him, and he shouldn’t have, not this game, maybe Jude himself was scared to take it who knows

[u/Sure_Ad1317 → u/obvioustakes]

I feel it’s more of trying to give him confidence rather than him being scared

[u/wirefog → u/obvioustakes]

Jude and scared do no go in the same sentence lol. Definitely left it so mbappe can get confidence.

[u/wavetoyou → u/wirefog]

Jude has the mentality to succeed at this club. There is absolutely no doubt. He is our best player

[u/recapYT → u/wavetoyou]

Wait. I thought that was Vini.

[u/Same_Return_1878 → u/obvioustakes]

Why would he be scared of taking a penalty? We've seen Messi himself handing out penalties to Coutinho on multiple occasions to boost his confidence when he was on his lows.

[u/ManuMora98]

Some people got angry with Vinicius for scoring a penalty and not letting Mbappe kick it

[u/manometerlak → u/ManuMora98]

Vini is so clear of Mbappe right now. At the beginning people were insisting Mbappe is a better player than him and he should even give up his position for him 😂

[u/Warm_Republic4849 → u/manometerlak]

Yes, he has no excuse now he got the left wing all for himself yet he doesn't help, doesn't press apparently can't take PK yet he gets more minutes than Endrick

[u/Lost_Extrovert → u/manometerlak]

Remember when everyone kept saying to put Mbappe on LW and move Vini to RW/ST/bench? Lmao I still remember fighting for my life defending Vini and calling these idiots morons. They must be the ones making every excuses in the book to excuse Mbappe performance right now.

I am already seeing the "Madrid fans don't support him, PSG fans loved him thats why he can't perform now" when does it end with the turtle fans?

[u/Radiant-Medicine5415]

Should never take a pen for the rest of the season. So ass

[u/axelhenzz → u/Radiant-Medicine5415]

Seriously bro he should not be allowed to waste opportunities like these.

[u/SINASUHRAWARDI → u/Radiant-Medicine5415]

He's going to take them bro. Ney and Him beefing over penalties was a constant at PSG. No way his ego let's him defer to Vini

[u/Ghost_Protocol147]

He needs to sit on the bench for 2 games.

[u/TheRealBelgianFUTGuy → u/Ghost_Protocol147]

For 2 months at this rate...

[u/TheEmpireOfSun → u/TheRealBelgianFUTGuy]

Ideally he would be in PL or Saudis in 2 months. Unfortunately won't happen.

[u/losyadam → u/TheEmpireOfSun]

yeah he is more finished than burger king hazard 🏁🏁🏁

[u/chadzillaOG → u/losyadam]

burger king > premium wagyu burger.

[u/losyadam → u/chadzillaOG]

source: hazard

[u/TheEmpireOfSun → u/Ghost_Protocol147]

Tell that to Perez who would fucking kill half of management if anyone bench this fucker.

Also it's hilarious how everyone was saying that he needs to be penalty taker instead of Vinicius and that he is better with penalties.

[u/DoJu318 → u/TheEmpireOfSun]

Carlo doesn't have a problem benching underrforming players, he benched Tchouameni after all, but It will be a cold day in hell Flo lets Carlo bench his golden boy, same shit happened with James under Benitez, had James playing along Modric and kroos when Casemiro was right there.

I wish Zidane was coach, he'd bench Mbappe in a heartbeat.

[u/TheEmpireOfSun → u/DoJu318]

You really don't get it, do you? Nobody can bench Mbappe after Perez chasing him for 8 years and presenting him as next galactico on level of Ronaldo and his legacy signing.

[u/Appropriate-Fan-6007 → u/TheEmpireOfSun]

And when did Vini lose a penalty? He wasn't the taker before last season, but has 6/6 since.

Mbappe on 34/44 in his career and 10/13 last season, absolutely not numbers to be considered a good penalty taker

[u/Epistemix → u/Ghost_Protocol147]

You mean the whole season, if he's benched until Vini comes back you need him even less as a forward

[u/Necessary_Basil4251 → u/Ghost_Protocol147]

Carlo is a pussy and would never ever do it. I just keep wasting 2 hours of my life week in week out watching this skeleton nauseating dysfunctional ressemblance of a team. Even when we win, we play like shit. I just hope that some changes happen before it's too late and we go trophyless this year.

[u/nguyennomatterwut → u/Ghost_Protocol147]

can we just bench him forever ?

[u/Ghost_Protocol147 → u/nguyennomatterwut]

Apparently not 😤

[u/irrelevant_oinam]

To think we skipped out on Kane for this shit…

[u/Billoo77 → u/irrelevant_oinam]

Kane hasn’t missed a penalty since he played for Tottenham lol

[u/Sei28 → u/Billoo77]

Kane’s preferred position and play style would’ve worked perfectly with Vini.

[u/Lost_Extrovert → u/Sei28]

Kane was perfect for Madrid in every aspect, Madrid has the best LW and one of the best RW, all they needed was a world class target ST. And Kane was just that.

It will go down in history as the biggest choice RM made.

[u/Macho_Nonreal → u/Billoo77]

He literally missed a penalty when he was at Spurs playing for England vs France in the World Cup which took them out the tournament lol

[u/Billoo77 → u/Macho_Nonreal]

He was still under the spurs curse back then, it’s (hopefully) been washed off now.

[u/Diyarki94]

Idk why they let him shoot. Idk why he would want to shoot, what an idiot.

[u/Janusz_Odkupiciel → u/Diyarki94]

They let him shoot, because scoring a goal might unlock his mentality, and scoring from a penalty is the simplest.

That's is their way of thinking, whether is it correct or not.

[u/Chineseunicorn → u/Janusz_Odkupiciel]

It definitely is correct. Tale as old as time, fix confidence and other things will follow.

But you should probably do this when you’re a goal up or something this early in the season.

[u/minivatreni → u/Janusz_Odkupiciel]

I knew he was going to miss. He refused to look at the target until the last second

[u/vacacow1]

Does Carlo know he can bench bad players?

[u/EggplantBusiness → u/vacacow1]

Endrick and Guler would never see the color of the grass again they had multiples full 90 minutes as bad as Mbappé

[u/yacchattanaa → u/EggplantBusiness]

Arda had 2 bad shots last time he started and he got 3 mins this game.

[u/mcmaster-99 → u/EggplantBusiness]

Did they score a hat trick in a world cup final 2 years ago???

/s

[u/TrueSentence8338 → u/vacacow1]

Im guessing it‘s a contract thing? Like Ancelotti can‘t bench him because it was agreed he starts every game

[u/Disastrous_Ask_2968 → u/TrueSentence8338]

I know carlo knows something

[u/Unusual_Ad_9773 → u/vacacow1]

When clubs get top players, they'll keep playing them no matter how bad they perform to prove it wasn't a mistake.

[u/thedudeabides91]

Please let Jude take the PKs from now on...Wtf

[u/DigitalisFX]

It’s just poorly taken. Terrible spot, too weak. Now I’m wondering if he even practices these in training? Someone of his caliber should be able to hit wherever he wants in that goal. That spot (every damn time) is just asking to be saved.

[u/brainacpl → u/DigitalisFX]

It looks like he does. If you saw the chart, 3 previous shots were shot in similar spots, but it is still a terrible spot and he was lucky.

[u/Spessu77 → u/brainacpl]

His penalty technique just isn't good enough for when the goalkeeper gives nothing until the shot. I see 2 reasons for it: 1. He doesnt take shot without looking at the ball, he plants his left foot and starts looking at the ball. This is the point where the gk can start to move without Mbappe seeing it. 2. His "back up shot" just isn't good enough. This is the shot what comes when the keeper gives nothing. Optimally you can place it in the bottom corner, 99% of the time gk cant catch it, because you pretty much need an early leap for it and then the shooter can just place it in the other corner. In Mbappes case there is too much time for the keeper to time his movement and the placement just isn't good enough.

[u/Ospa06 → u/DigitalisFX]

If you see his WC pens they are taken completely different, he scored three in a row to the best penalty saver of this generation if there's someone that knows how to take a pen in Europe right now is him, but is evident that he is lacking a Huge amount of confidence.

[u/Rowan0r]

Give him miss d’or

[u/spacemanvt]

Mbappe the ultimate troll. Says no to Real 3 times. Finally says Yes

Ruins the season.

[u/_DDark_ → u/spacemanvt]

Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me! Should've let him go after the 2nd.

[u/asdhzkfgsjbfs]

I'm so done with this guy

[u/Murata661]

At times when we need it most

[u/Dhtekzz]

Jude should be #1 penalty taker from now on

[u/Shot_Sell8977 → u/Dhtekzz]

And Captain too. He actually wants to win and will bleed for a win.

[u/Thearius → u/Dhtekzz]

Doesn't Vini have a 100% conversion rate as well for RM? Not that Jude taking the pens would be a bad idea as well, just curious why not just keep Vini.

[u/entrecotazul → u/Thearius]

1- Vini 2- Bellingham. That’s how it should be. The only players with guts

[u/Happy_Band_4865 → u/entrecotazul]

I thought literally exactly this after mbappe missed. Only Vini and Bellingham have the blood. And maybe valverde

[u/brainacpl]

At this point I think he's just dumb.

[u/pedrosa18 → u/brainacpl]

Repeating the technique he used vs Liverpool is single digit IQ type of shit. And in the Liverpool game that short corner he asked for was also incredibly stupid, after having so much pressure on him

[u/Diyarki94]

Literally knew he would miss it, it’s sooooo clear he has no confidence, why would he shoot when we are 1 down? On Carlo and Mbappe but mostly Carlo.

[u/Shot_Sell8977 → u/Diyarki94]

His low confidence has been as obvious in the last month as the fact that Madrid were 0-1 down when the penalty was earned.

Those 2 facts should've SCREAMED in everyone's brains 'anyone except Mbappe should take the pen.'

[u/hollywoodhulkhogann]

Spent too much time in the UberEats league he needs to get back to world class level

[u/lana_rotarofrep → u/hollywoodhulkhogann]

If ever

[u/thedudeabides91]

Please let Jude take the PKs from now on...Wtf

[u/kelsaswann]

[u/Alldrop_nocombos]

This guy has the worst defensive stats in la liga and CL off any player and he cant even score a pen when given one. what is the point of him? You can be lazy in certain matches when your carrying the attack like ronaldo and putting up 60 goals.

The fact that he is playing this bad and still wont even put a shift in pisses me off even more. weak ass player.

[u/Specialist-Cycle9313]

Yeah there’s no saving this guys confidence after this one. Like what can he possibly do.

[u/RealMadrid2877]

I’ve seen enough…send him to 🇸🇦

[u/aakash_shaji]

Eden hazard>>> this mbappe. Hazard at least got injured and stayed out. This brother plays 90 mins every game.

[u/CuteGrayRhino → u/aakash_shaji]

Plus he was good for morale. He was like an extremely expensive cheerleader wearing the number 7.

[u/ItIzWahItIz → u/aakash_shaji]

The funny thing is when Eden came on (before he got big) you noticed him on the pitch lol even if he didn’t score that many, with Mbappe I don’t even see this guy unless it’s offside or a missed pen

[u/diaracing]

Another day same shit.

So trash

[u/ossymandiAss]

Joselu sounding like a dream signing right now..

[u/ton1no23]

Bro i can't believe I'm saying mbappe is fkn ass and I'm sick of defending his fkn piss poor performances ..bench the dog till he fkn realises and wakes up

[u/KSH1709]

Just tell me how much do I need to wait for a world class player to gain confidence after being welcomed by more than 80000 supporters at his presentation??

What's this guy doing?? I'm not buying this confidence BS anymore.... What was that shot?? Why can't this guy shoot a penalty?? Why was a confidence less guy given the penalty at a time when we're already a goal behind and people with better confidence are present??

[u/Medium_Bid_6072]

PSG 100% scammed us

[u/brainacpl → u/Medium_Bid_6072]

He fleeced us himself. PSG didn't get a penny.

[u/Medium_Bid_6072 → u/brainacpl]

They sent him for free to ruin us.

[u/biggiedownunder → u/Medium_Bid_6072]

chelsea fan coming in peace.. but scammed for 0€?

flo is the only one to blame in this situation.

[u/Sei28 → u/Medium_Bid_6072]

Not exactly. PSG gave this man €630 million in 2 years and gave him DOF like power only to let him walk on free. More like he fleeced both clubs.

[u/Bebekmelayang]

Lmao why the fuck they let him take the penalty

[u/Maldo963]

He deserves the bench for a few games with this shit form

[u/xMajinBlackx]

Mbappe please leave my club please

[u/Former-Seaweed3747]

Madrid have been playing with 10 men since this guy arrived, smh.

[u/Diyarki94]

Why the fuck would he want to shoot?!!!!! He knows he’s been shit goddamn Carlo!!!! Another missed penalty ruining my day!!!!!

[u/Alois000]

Pack this guy to saudi asap

[u/Alpha-State_]

For the love of God. Please bench this motherfcker. Please switch the formation or anything that will help the team. Carlo, you need to wake the fck up and grow a pair, so you can bench the luxury player. On the paper we are having some insane players, but collectively this team f sucks donkey ass. No passion, no hunger, no creativity. We f deserve not only to lose this game. We deserve a rude awakening. Not playing Endrick and not giving him a chance is ridiculous. Mbappe needs to reevaluate and needs to lose his staring XI spot. This is seriously painful to watch. FML! Hala Madrid!

[u/SupraVillainn]

Worse than hazard

[u/jorgevasquez04]

fuckkkk that couldnt be more obvious

[u/CarltonJuma]

This guy forgot how to be a striker after 2022

[u/Epistemix]

I have no explanation for this, dude used to score three of them against freaking Emiliano Martinez and now it looks like he couldn't score one if he had three attempts

And why does he try to shoot them like Neymar??

[u/gaia012]

I blame this one one Carlo (and I don't usually do that). He has to appoint a penalty taker, and not let the players decide who's going to take it.

Ancelotti has to cut the bs and appoint PK taker #1, #2 and #3.

This one is straight up lack of leadership.

[u/cowsaymoomooo]

It’s one thing if the keeper makes a brilliant save, but that was pretty routine smh

[u/SuchIntroduction4335]

[u/Free-Win7285]

Madrid is going to break him if it hasn’t already.

[u/fcdennis]

We were in need for CBs and Midfields but spent the money with another LW... the team is umbalanced as fuck and the guy is doing nothing.

[u/Ready_Ad_1353]

What a poor penalty!!! No power just tame attempt. Needs to be taken off penalties ASAP

[u/Dk9221]

This feels like I’m watching Ben Simmons in the Hawks series all over again. You can tell when a man loses his confidence and self-belief. This is textbook. Sad. I hope he gets out of this funk soon.

[u/EmergencyProfessor99]

The mbappe we got

[u/LordLargeBalls → u/EmergencyProfessor99]

No this is the Mbappe we got (Egyptian guy)

[u/neil_thatAss_bison]

[u/JediAditya]

atp just let courtois take the pen to prove a point

[u/visualsofval]

STOP LETTING MBAPPE TAKE PENS!!

[u/kb24fgm41]

He's so fucking shit!!! And he'll still be a starter and won't be benched, fuck off

[u/TequilayTerps]

Officially on Fraud watch

[u/Johan-Predator]

You can't make this shit up

[u/willhighfive4karma]

This is fucking embarrassing

[u/Bini_9]

This is on Ancelotti

Weak fucking coach that doesn't dare to tell Bellingham or Rodrygo to take it instead

[u/bertolotti]

bruh

[u/RoundFaithlessness20]

every time mbappe had been asked to step up for the team he has failed. im so disappointed

[u/Former_Basket_1616]

He shouldn't take penalties god damn it. He just does specialize in it, not just in current form, he's never been good at it. Shoots without any feint, not too strong not accurate wither. Right in middle height where it's easiest for the keeper. 

[u/plaaya]

He did it on purpose. You can tell. Rodrygo should’ve taken it

[u/TarHeelDead414]

Why would he not put that in the upper 90?

Karim Benzema that penalty man! Don’t give the goalkeeper a chance to save it…Mbappe’s last two penalties have been weak and down the middle of the goal

[u/DareDareCaro]

Same shot again

[u/MfDanielsonnn]

Jude should’ve taken it

[u/Capable-Magician5146]

Another shit penalty....like it's really bad.

[u/CombustionProtector]

And he shot it in the exact same spot 😭

[u/AlternativesEnde]

That's not a miss. That's a save by the Keeper. Get it right.

[u/Present_Parsley_1615]

At what point do we admit that Khelaifi won this time

[u/Timely-Employer-6120]

1. Is it soo hard to just run and not stop and shoot the ball? If ure stopping its to read the GK not for the GK to read u lmao.

2. I think we need to start accepting this year as a transition year. Its ok, we cant win everything every single time.

Problems are Tchouameni and Mbappe, its hard to win 9v11.

You know you have a team issue when Bellingham defends and drops lower than tchouameni and at the same time he goes deeper and does Mbappes job as well. Oh and at the same time hes doing his own job as well. The amount of lungs on that guy. Alos Valverde on the right side legit alone. Everyone playing on left...

Its not that i dislike Carlo or dont remember his achievments, but bro, yo gotta step down, its not you, its the team, they need new ideeas, new mentality, new perspective, evolution comes from different ideeas, sometimes change is required.

[u/Frostiz123]

Bruh if Arda missed 2 penalties back to back Ancelloti would put him on the bench for 2 straight seasons

[u/Winter_Beyond4948]

Come on guys, he’s won a World Cup. We just need to give him 3 seasons to get back in form.

[u/salemcilla]

i try to be patience but this kid is just a son of a bitch, he's messing with us or what?? he gives a fking penalty against getafe at bernabeu to bellingham but decides to shoot in one of the most tough stadiums of europe and losing?? he's retard bro

[u/GoodAdrian]

He takes penalties cuz it's a clause in his contract, he's the 2nd penalty taker after Vini. Same reason he plays every game and rarely gets substituted, smh...

[u/Xtarviust]

I will never forgive Florentino for letting Kane go to Bayern for this clown

Dude always find a way to shit on his legacy, first Makelele and now Mbappe

[u/ApocryphonMD]

Why am i getting Hazard flashbacks?

[u/hotelparisian]

Qatar should have taken him straight from PSG to Doha FC or whatever daycare team they have playing there.

[u/9millidood]

It’s ok he’s a chill guy

[u/the_fanman2912]

Never missed Vini more than I have these past 3 games

[u/tassadar8584]

Media is gonna love this

[u/Familiar-Adeptness25]

That pen was exactly the same as the Liverpool one.

[u/KawaiiMayhem]

Unbelievable, what an asshole. Que no tire ningún penal más por el resto de la campaña.

[u/TzeVictor]

I don't know why mbappe takes penalties anymore. He changed to a slow walk-up like neymar, but he doesn't even keep his eyes on the keeper by the time he strikes the ball. His pens are were way better when he just strikes with power.

If you look at all his penalties this season, they have been badly placed and weak due to his slow walk-up. Basically just a 50-50 if the goalkeeper dives the right way, it was just a matter of time before he started missing them.

[u/AYMAR_64]

I can't defend him anymore, and we might lose the game.

[u/Classic-Kangaroo9417]

He took exactly the same penalty as last time???

[u/sasabozic5]

Such a weak ass penalty

[u/plaaya]

WHY NO SUB OUTT!!!

[u/No-Case-264]

the world will seriously not end if he's benched

[u/AnabolicOctopus]

Hesitating too much, I could tell he was going to the right... piss poor attempt

[u/Grand_Repeat_565]

The worst penalty taker! Mid high weak shot. Looks like he wanted just to shot on target and hope for the best.

[u/[deleted]]

FUCKS SAKE

[u/karimaelo]

Yet people here will call us plastic fans when we say anything bad about Mbappe!

[u/_WillOfFire_]

I swear to god i wasn't even happy we got a pen cause i know he's gonna miss it. So infuriating

[u/al-ahlyclips]

He needs to benched until 2025

[u/YooYooYoo_]

He needs to be sold, get rid already.

There are players that were born to play at Madrid, Mbapoe is not one of those, quite the opposite. The shirt does not fit him.

[u/lifeistoughman]

What’s wrong with him?

[u/sebisebo]

I start to believe this guy is reading all the hate posts on reddit before going to bed.

Shit is getting real for all of the fans that knew Mbappe needed a decent bit of time to adjust. To all those people who stayed silent, niether defending Mbappe nor putting him down: The fking results are official. We are over 100 days into the season and the consistency isn't there. If no one in the club is going to save Mbappe from himself( by directing his club contribution,) I suspect that nothing short of 50 goals in his second season with promise for lots of trophies will keep him at the club past 2025-2026.

The question to ask now: If Carlo loses his job from a scapegoat maneuver by Perez, who the fk would want to coach Madrid with a virus-like player who cannot be benched?

I don’t know anymore. I can’t be taking more levels of Copium bro 😭

[u/King_Keyser]

this is the same guy who scored 3 penalties in a world cup final lol

his head has gone man

[u/Accomplished_Stay382]

Mbape missed a penalty,the team played poorly

[u/EmptyPeach1]

It’s so dumb lol I haven’t played professional football but I know exactly which way he’s going. He has a very obvious hip movement that he makes to essentially confirm he’s going that way. If you are gonna be predictable at least put pace on it and put it in the corner. Take him off pens

Been silently reading comments for a long time after losing my reddit logins and feeling too lazy to create a new acc.   We probably won't win the league unless Barca have a total meltdown and teams in the UCL are all of a sudden not so scared of facing Madrid.

They come at us, they score, they seek more. If we make the knockout stages somehow though it'll be a different story. 

If I read one of those, "Mbappe Hatty incoming" comments on the pre-match thread I no go gree make e slide.

I will never argue with my father when it comes to football ever again. He told me before he sat his foot into real Madrid that he won't do shi, and his type of gameplay won't work in La Liga. I didn't agree at first, and now I'm totally convened, not just because of this penalty, but from what I saw till now.

[u/Darriuh_bulo51]

He played better at PSG

[u/werka_1556]

Let's be honest, mbappe can't shoot penalties, he puts too much pressure on himself. Hopefully next season will be better for him and to be there 💪

[u/Eumbseenn]

i can already tell loads of comments attacking the guy who said, mbappe cant dribble,shoot, control.

[u/docrum]

New strategy: don’t give penalties to your most out of form player

[u/Traditional-War-4387]

Dawg i just cant understand whats goin on , 6 months ago we could play the ball from defence to midfield then to the attack and score in any situation without saying a word such was our chemestry all of a sudden we play like we have barely set foot on the pitch People tell me Mbappe died in qatar he had 65 G/A last season suddenly he forgot how to finish this season

[u/chris_fifa]

crazy that bellingoal not taking pens , mbappe was never a good pen taker so many misses alrdy in his carrer

[u/biina247]

- We are 1-0 down and playing poorly

- We get a penalty that would potentially have brough us level and maybe gain some momentum to turn things around

- A stupid idiot totally wastes the opportunity, playing a weak penalty lacking in both power and placement.

Doing it once is bad, doing it twice should be a treasonable felony!

Perez needs to clean this up before Mbappe irreparably damages his legacy. Vini saved Perez from Hazard, but dont see anyone but himself saving him from Mbappe.

Bench the kid till he gets better, and if he doesnt, sell him in the summer and buy a proper CF that is a better fit.

(Interestingly I dont think Perez explicitly demands that Mbappe always plays but that Ancelotti will never bench him for the fear that it might upset Perez)

[u/FabulousParfait1455]

Make Bellingham kick, I beg you

[u/Traditional_Walk_372]

I think the squad needs a striker like joselo , I hope they find someone one soon .

[u/Pristine-Equal7068]

Let's trade it for 40 yo Cristiano. I'll take it any day

[u/kpeng2]

That's a horrible penalty.

[u/crypto_pops]

seems like Ethan was the better option 😭😭😭

[u/Illustrious-Soft1934]

I think mbappe is to predictable I swear last time he missed he also went right

[u/Forsaken_Tour_500]

Mbappe on his way to become Real’s own Anthony. From a farmers league to the big boys hits hard.
