In a crucial match for Real Madrid at San Mamés, Kylian Mbappé made headlines not for his brilliance but for missing a penalty that could have equalized the score. This marked a low point for the French star in Real Madrid’s ongoing campaign to claim the La Liga title.

Mbappé’s Penalty Miss Against Athletic Club

This miss adds to a worrying trend for Mbappé: he has failed to convert two penalties in just one week, a first in his professional career.

A Troubling Statistic

• Mbappé has missed four penalties in 2024, with two for Paris Saint-Germain earlier in the year and two with Real Madrid.
• At Real Madrid, he has scored only three out of five penalty attempts across all competitions, making him the La Liga player with the most penalty misses this season.

The French forward will need to address this issue as Real Madrid continues its battle for domestic and European glory.
