The French star has not yet found his best form in LaLiga and on Wednesday he failed again from the penalty spot.
Kylian Mbappé, the most talked-about summer transfer ahead of the 2024-25 season, is somewhat short of his best days as a Real Madrid player. After missing a crucial penalty against Liverpool in last week’s UEFA Champions League match, he repeated the mistake against Athletic Club Bilbao in LaLiga EA Sports’ 16th round this Wednesday.
Penalty record for Mbappé
The 25-year-old forward has underperformed in some key matches under Carlo Ancelotti’s leadership. However, his penalty woes in 2024 trace back to his time in France. According to MisterChip, Mbappé has missed four penalties this year—two with PSG and now two with Madrid. This marks the first time in his professional career that he has missed four penalties in a single calendar year and the first instance of missing two penalties within the same week.
OptaJose adds to the concern, noting that Mbappé has missed two out of five penalties for Real Madrid across all competitions, including the UEFA Super Cup, LaLiga, and the UEFA Champions League. This makes him the highest-tier Spanish player to waste the most penalty attempts this season.
Furthermore, StatMuse records reveal that Mbappé has squandered 13 significant scoring opportunities in LaLiga EA Sports, surpassing any other player who hasn’t missed more than 10. His missed penalty this Wednesday at San Mamés also ended his perfect conversion rate from the spot in Spain, dropping from 3-for-3 to 3-for-4. Will he be handed the ball next time?

Mbappe at Real is not his right place to play, he should stay another year or some season at PSG before having a better strength and confidence to move on before he playing for the best club like an others, he made a big shame for his team mates in the club when he forced them to get all those penalties. his carrier his match with his new club level, he needs to be rest in the bench for some games first before he playing, real have many players before Mbappe but Anceloti did a big mistake to favourite Mbappe than others, so please Mbappe get out of this club right now before you're nothing in Spain 🇪🇸, go back to somewhere else to fit your career, but not in Spain really 😉 waisting your time here in Spain. Loser 😭

Mbappe needs to understand that football is not only about running but running meaningfully.

Mbappe, please don't allow Real Madrid to bench you other wise the pressure will be too much for you. For now you need additional personal trainer on phycological and physical response to negative impact I'm sports management. Think things out before it becomes too late.
