Mbappé-Vinicius, a story of penalties

Real Madrid did not have a good game last Saturday afternoon at Anoeta, but they won thanks to their two stars Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Junior, authors of a goal each from the penalty spot (0-2). If the French and the Brazilian had trouble finding each other and coming together in the game, they both let the White House escape​​​​a game of trap.

Because there were many opportunities on both sides. The Basques were not unworthy, touching the posts of Courtois three times. Hit on the back of the thigh, Brahim Diaz had to give up his place in the second minute of play, replacing Rodrygo.

Mbappé chose the man of the match

After a rough hand in the area, the Merengue benefited from a logical penalty, converted by Vinicius (0-1, 58^e). Galvanized by the opener, Carlo Ancelotti’s men pushed and were rewarded with a new penalty, this time more generous. And as Vinicius and Mbappé decided to share the penalties, it was the French who followed him.

Rather on his feet, the old Parisian was not trembling when he made the break, so he got his 3^e goals in La Liga. The Blues captain, who was replaced in the 90th minute by Endrick, was chosen as the man of the match. So the best for “Kyk’s”, which has not been saved from criticism in recent days.
