Penalty nightmare? Mbappé misses two penalties in a week across UCL and La Liga

In La Liga Matchday 19, Real Madrid faced Athletic Bilbao away, where Kylian Mbappé’s penalty was saved, marking the first time he has missed a penalty in his La Liga career. This was his second penalty miss in a week.

During the match, Rüdiger won a penalty after being brought down in the box in the second half, but Mbappé’s spot-kick was denied by the opposition goalkeeper.

This was Mbappé’s fourth penalty attempt in La Liga and the first he has failed to convert. Additionally, it was the second penalty miss of his Real Madrid career out of five attempts. Just a week ago in the Champions League against Liverpool, Mbappé’s penalty was also saved by the goalkeeper.
