“A difficult moment” – Kylian Mbappe speaks out after penalty miss during Real Madrid’s defeat at Athletic Club

Kylian Mbappé's start at Real Madrid was disappointing to say the least. He has had a particularly tough time in recent weeks after a few high-profile moments.

Last Wednesday, Mbappe saw his penalty saved by Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher during Real Madrid's 2-0 Champions League defeat at Anfield. Seven days later he was denied again from twelve yards as Julen Agirrezabala scored a big win for Athletic Club in their 2-1 win over the defending La Liga champions.

Carlo Ancelotti came to Mbappe's defense after the San Mames match, and now the man himself has taken to Instagram (via MD) to share his thoughts.

“Bad result. A big mistake in a match where every detail counts. I take full responsibility for it. A difficult moment, but it is best to change this situation and show who I am.”

Mbappé must now bounce back ahead of Real Madrid's next match, against Girona on Saturday evening.
