It's sad to see Mbappe missing a penalty shootout that would lead Real Madrid to a point or two points closer to Barcelona. The Real Madrid players will feel very bad about this because they missed a good 3 points all because of Mbappe's missed penalty. Well, no player who doesn't miss a penalty shootout but for the time being, Ancelotti should appoint another Real Madrid player to be the penalty taker for Real Madrid rather than Mbappe. The case of a missed penalty shootout will be over, and Real Madrid will have their wins in a match when a penalty shootout arises.
Mbappe was not the only player to take responsibility for Real Madrid defeat at Athletic Club home ground, Thibaut Courtois and both Federico Valverde also made blunders in this game which resulted in them conceding 2 goals. Real Madrid played beyond expectations because several players made big mistakes that greatly benefited the opposing team, this moment was very detrimental to them who were trying to seize the top of the standings from Barcelona.
After this defeat they must rise because in the next match they will play away at Girona's headquarters, Ancelotti must be able to make the players change the situation and show their true strength, victory is needed to increase the players' confidence when facing Atalanta in the UCL.
