Sparkling since the start of the season, Kylian Mbappé delivered a non-match on Tuesday on the Liverpool pitch (1-0).
A fall for Real Madrid. Author of a flawless performance in the Champions League since the start of the season, the Madrid giant bit the dust on Tuesday during the 4e day of the League phase. Traveling to Liverpool, the Merengue lost 1-0 despite Thibaut Courtois’ great match.
But if the Belgian goalkeeper increased his prowess in goals, delaying the deadline for a long time before having to admit defeat on a header from Alexis Mac Allister at the start of the last quarter of an hour, at the other end of the field, the Madrid attackers were much more struggling, perfectly muzzled by the Reds’ defense.
Kylian Mbappé was transparent
The best illustration of the complicated evening experienced by the Real Madrid attack against Virgil van Dijk and others is undoubtedly the match delivered by Kylian Mbappé. Yet irresistible since the start of the season as evidenced by his 18 goals scored in 13 matches, the Frenchman has completely come through.
His stat line is terrible with no shots on target, no key passes, six loose balls and only one successful dribble out of the four attempted. Totally stifled by the Reds’ defense, the former Monegasque had his mask on at the final whistle and did not loosen his teeth when crossing the mixed zone.
