"He's finished", "Bro chose the Hazard way" - Real Madrid fans react as Kylian Mbappe misses penalty against Liverpool

Fans have reacted to Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe's missed penalty against Liverpool during their 2-0 defeat in the UEFA Champions League on Wednesday, November 27. The Frenchman had the chance to draw his side level in the 61st minute after Alexis Mac Allister gave the hosts the lead at Anfield, but his effort from the spot was saved by Caoimhin Kelleher.

Mbappe joined Los Blancos as one of the most highly rated players in the world, but has failed to live up to expectations since his arrival. Following the miss, fans took to X to lament his performance, with one fan posting:

"KYLIAN MBAPPÉ HAS MISSED THE PENALTY!"

Another post read:

"Nahhhhhh Mbappe going through it…."

Another post compared him to Manchester United forward Alejandro Garnacho, saying:

"He’s finished. Garnacho clear"

A fan compared Mbappe to Eden Hazard, who had a disappointing time with Los Blancos, posting:

"Bro chose the Hazard way."

Another post read:

"Confidence at an all time low tbh."

Despite missing today's penalty, Kylian Mbappe has not been terrible since joining the Spanish giants. He has scored nine goals and provided two assists in 18 appearances across competitions.

“In three months, Madrid has had 11 muscle injuries" - Real Madrid manager laments injury struggles ahead of Liverpool clash

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti lamented his side's injury woes in the build-up to their UEFA Champions League clash with Liverpool. The reigning european champions have been plagued with injuries that have prevented them from reaching their best level this season.

Speaking to the press in the buildup to his side's trip to Anfield, Ancelotti said (via Diario AS):

“In three months, Madrid has had 11 muscle injuries. Is there anything else? Yes, but we have also had seven defeats. Avoiding this is complicated. It is difficult, because it is not only Madrid’s problem, but also other teams’. Each team handles these things in their own way, but what does not change are the injuries. We have to put up with this."

The Italian tactician added:

“We have to think like last year, that injuries are an opportunity to be better. It is no coincidence that the injuries of Lucas, Militao, and Rodrygo have changed the dynamic of the team.”

Real Madrid ended their impressive unbeaten streak against Liverpool with a 2-0 loss at Anfield. The English giants have maintained their 100% record in the Champions League.
