‘I give you this week to pack your things and leave ‘: Real Madrid owner Florentino Perez has officially told £120m Real Madrid star to leave this week or His contract will be terminated just as He did to the likes of Ronaldo and Hakimi
Kylian Mbappé’s woes continued unabated as Real Madrid succumbed to a demoralizing 2-1 defeat at the hands of Athletic Club. Despite being afforded a golden opportunity to redeem himself, Mbappé’s struggles from the penalty spot persisted, as he missed his second consecutive spot-kick.
Earlier in the match, Mbappé had momentarily made amends for his lackluster performance by scoring Madrid’s first goal. He bundled the ball home from close range after Thibaut Courtois palmed an Inaki Williams cross into his path, offering a glimmer of hope for the visiting side.
However, Mbappé’s penalty miss proved to be a pivotal moment in the match, as Madrid were unable to capitalize on the opportunity. Instead, Athletic Club regained the lead through Gorka Guruzeta, who stole the ball from Federico Valverde and fired past Courtois with unerring accuracy.
The defeat marks a significant setback for Real Madrid, who now trail league leaders Barcelona by a daunting four points. Mbappé’s struggles will undoubtedly be a cause for concern for manager Carlo Ancelotti, as the French forward cut a deflated figure in the final stages of the match.
In a rare positive note, Jude Bellingham continued his impressive form, scoring his fourth goal in as many league games. His efforts, however, were ultimately overshadowed by Mbappé’s penalty miss and the team’s inability to secure a much-needed win.
