Szczesny shines… Mbappé misses a penalty in El Clásico

Kylian Mbappé had the chance to add his second goal in El Clásico and Real Madrid’s third when he took a penalty in the 52nd minute.

Bellingham was able to win a penalty, which was confirmed by VAR, and Mbappé, who has been Real Madrid’s leading penalty taker this season, went to take it.

The French star unleashed a powerful shot into the right side of the Barcelona goal, but goalkeeper Szczesny made a brilliant save to keep the Catalan club alive in the match.

This is the 14th penalty miss Mbappé has made in his career, and his fourth overall with Real Madrid since joining the club in the summer of 2024.

Mbappé’s record before this penalty miss was four out of four this season with Real Madrid, having scored twice against Marseille and once against Kairat in the Champions League, and a successful penalty in La Liga against Levante.
