⚽️ Oops, he did it again! Kylian Mbappe missed his second penalty kick in just a week, as Real Madrid suffered a surprising 2-1 defeat against Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday night. 😱
The Basque side came out swinging, pressing the Spanish champions from the get-go. Real Madrid looked out of sorts, struggling to find any rhythm or creativity in their play. With zero shots on target in the first half, Los Blancos were left scratching their heads at halftime. 🤔
Bilbao's persistence paid off in the 53rd minute when Alex Berenguer tapped in a close-range effort to break the deadlock. The crowd at San Mamés roared with excitement as the home team took the lead. 🏟️🔥
Opportunity knocked for Real Madrid when they were awarded a penalty after defender Antonio Ruediger was fouled in the box. Mbappe stepped up, but to everyone's shock, he couldn't convert, missing a golden chance to level the score. 🙈
It's been a tough run for Real Madrid lately, with four losses in their last seven games across all competitions. Fans are hoping the team can bounce back and find their winning groove soon. 💪
