Mbappe misses another penalty

MADRID, Dec 05 (AP): Kylian Mbappé admitted he is going through a difficult moment as he missed another penalty kick and Real Madrid lost ground to Barcelona in the Spanish league after a 2-1 loss at Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday.
Mbappé had his penalty saved by Athletic goalkeeper Julen Agirrezabala in the 68th minute, and later Federico Valverde gifted a late goal by losing possession on defense to allow an easy winner by Gorka Guruzeta in the 80th.
"Bad result," Mbappé posted on Instagram. "A big mistake in a match where every detail counts. I take full responsibility for it. A difficult moment but it's the best time to change this situation and show who I am."
Mbappé sent the penalty shot to his right and Agirrezabala dived that way to make the stop.
"We knew that he is a good penalty taker," Agirrezabala said. " Mbappé, who had a goal disallowed for offside in the 13th, had also missed a penalty in Madrid's 2-0 loss at Liverpool in the Champions League last week.
