Re: UEFA Champions League 2024/25 Season

Mo Salah penalty miss was not a benchmark in this match because Liverpool were leading 1-0, Mbappe miss was a problem because they were hunting for a goal to make the score level again. Liverpool are still unbeaten, Real Madrid finally became the victim of Liverpool's ferocity in a series of perfect results achieved in the UCL.
In my opinion, Mbappe is in a bad moment in his career, he is still struggling to adapt at Real Madrid, and now he just missed a penalty in an important game. Nothing has gone right for Mbappe at Real Madrid so far, he hasn't shone at all, that's my view on Mbappe's performance so far.

Your view of Mbappe is not wrong, but if I look at the Real Madrid team as a whole in the match, it is very clear that Real Madrid were really overwhelmed in facing Liverpool so that the level of ball possession and total shots on goal were not more than Liverpool. In addition, the formation used by Ancelotti in the match also looked unusual so that it was more directed at defense than attack so that it could make the middle area not so optimal for Real Madrid. And as a result of this defeat, Real Madrid is now in a very sacred position so that in the next match Real Madrid must be able to win in order to have the opportunity to qualify for the next round in the Champions League this season.

Real Madrid lost from all sides, I didn't expect them to play that bad and especially for Mbappe in this match it was really bad, he had filled the left wing position in his original position because of Vinicius' absence but Mbappe was unable to show his best performance, not only because he failed to execute the penalty but there was indeed no major contribution to the team from Mbappe, it's been a long time since his arrival he should have been able to adapt but in fact he didn't.

And on the other hand it must also be admitted that Liverpool's performance has been extraordinary this season, they were not favored because of the change of coach which made it possible that they could not make the team better in their first season but Arne Slot has now really proven that he is quite extraordinary in continuing Klopp's performance and can even make the Liverpool team even better.

Real Madrid made a mistake by hiring Mbappe and spending too much money for a player like him. Real Madrid had a much better option but Real Madrid couldn't even use the penalty kick they had.
However, we can't blame Mbappe for everything and he is just a part of this team regardless of his getting the lowest rating in the game against Liverpool I'm sure he was trying to do his best but it was not enough since Real Madrid still lost the match with a 2-0 result against Liverpool.
