Mbappe keep making Madrid fans to be angry at him, he loses a penalty that could have changed the game, and the absence of Vinicius Jr again affected Madrid’s performance as expected.
I am now taking Liverpool very serious because they are trying to win everything this season; let’s see how they will end the season.
Actually, both Liverpool and Real Madrid missed the penalty kicks. It's just that for Real Madrid, this is a chance to at least score 1 goal, but really, Mbappe seems to be beyond hope, even Kelleher has been able to read Mbappe's kick movement during the penalty kick.
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.
If Mbappe had been able to score from the penalty spot, the match would have been tied. This penalty was very important for Real Madrid. After a goalless draw in the first half, Real Madrid fell behind 1-0 at the beginning of the second half. If Mbappe had been able to score this goal, Real Madrid might have been able to earn 1 point from the match.
Both Mbappe and Salah missed penalties. However, Liverpool did not face any major loss due to Salah's penalty miss. Liverpool was leading 1-0. Liverpool was able to take a 2-0 lead in the 76th minute with Gakpo's goal.
In this match, Liverpool's overall gameplay was organized compared to Real Madrid. Madrid's squad did not have their key player Vinicius. We did not get the expected performance from Mbappe either. However, Arda Guler and Bellingham's performances were not bad.
