We wouldn't blame Real Madrid for hiring Mbappe because if Real Madrid had been this way without Mbappe people would have also been saying that Real Madrid made a mistake of not hiring him but however is as if he has gone from better to worst, I believe if he had scored the penalty real Madrid would have peak form since it was still 1:0 against them, perhaps if another player had taking the penalty it wouldn't have resulted that way.
However the penalty missed out was actually common for them because it was back to back, though it was funny seeing the positioning of Mohammed salah and were the ball went, he could not believe he was the one that played it do to how surprised he looks, meanwhile Alexis Mac Allister is a good midfielder for Liverpool and I love his finishing because it was smooth and clean no too much stress for him and Bradley has cleared the obstacle for him.
In that match, Mbappe and M. Salah both failed to take penalty kicks. But our focus is more interested in Mbappe's failure because Real Madrid was the one who lost. Maybe if Liverpool lose then our focus will also shift more to Salah. And yes, missing a penalty kick is normal.
Yeah you are right about that because even if the outcome of those penalties was the same but for the Real Madrid side it was not the same because it was meant to be a symbol of hope for them, while Liverpool didn't have much feeling about it based on the fact that they trust themselves they will never lose the match, however do you think the match would have taking another dimension if Vinicius Jr was around? Because to me I believe they would have made the game 2:2 because it was not only the Liverpool boys that had those kind of opportunities of scoring Real Madrid also has, so I believe Vinicius would have done something about it if he was there, however Getafe is there next opponent on the Spanish La Liga and I don't think Vinicius will also be there for them unless he recovers before then if not is another trouble for them since every club is pulling them.
