Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham has come to the defense of Kylian Mbappé following his missed penalty in their recent match, emphasizing that the team’s overall performance was the primary reason for their loss. Addressing the situation, Bellingham said:
“Mbappé penalty? It happens. The penalty miss is not the reason we lost. We weren’t good enough as a collective; they played better.”
Bellingham’s remarks underline the importance of shared responsibility within the squad, rather than singling out individual moments. Despite Mbappé’s rare miss, the English midfielder pointed to the opposition’s superior performance and the need for Real Madrid to improve as a unit in future games.
The young midfielder’s leadership and accountability reflect his growing influence at the club, as Los Blancos aim to bounce back stronger in their upcoming fixtures.
