Ancelotti Shows Full Support for Mbappé After Penalty Miss Against Liverpool
Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has come out in full support of Kylian Mbappé after the French forward missed a penalty during the team’s 2-0 loss to Liverpool in the Champions League.
The match saw the 25-year-old striker have the opportunity to level the score at 1-1 after Alexis MacAllister had given Liverpool the lead, but his penalty attempt was saved by Liverpool’s goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher.
Mbappé’s miss was one of several key moments in the match, as Mohamed Salah also missed a penalty for Liverpool, firing his effort wide.
However, Liverpool quickly capitalized on their chances, with Cody Gakpo scoring a second goal from a corner to seal the victory for the Reds.
Despite the disappointing result, Ancelotti was quick to rally behind his star player, offering words of encouragement in the aftermath of the match.
“Mbappé has all of our support,” he said. “He is an extraordinary player, and we have no doubt that he will soon turn the situation around. We just need to be patient with him.”
The manager also praised Mbappé’s overall performance, acknowledging that the young forward has been adapting well to the team’s tactics and style of play since joining Real Madrid.
Ancelotti emphasized that Mbappé’s character and skill are unquestionable, and it’s only a matter of time before he regains his sharpness and continues to shine for the team.
Mbappé has been one of the most exciting talents in world football, and his move to Real Madrid has been widely regarded as a significant moment in the club’s future.
Real Madrid’s outgoing manager Carlo Ancelotti has sent a clear message to Barcelona following their LaLiga title win this season. While he acknowledged that Barcelona played well and fully deserved the championship, Ancelotti warned that next season will not be the same.
Speaking about the season, the 65-year-old praised Hansi Flick’s Barcelona for their quality football and solid performance. “Barcelona did very well this season. They played good football and deserved to win the league,” he said.
However, Ancelotti was quick to add that things will change in the upcoming season, hinting at a tougher challenge ahead for the Catalan club. Ancelotti is set to leave Real Madrid soon to become the head coach of Brazil’s national team.
Before he departs, he will manage Madrid in two final matches against Sevilla and Real Sociedad. The Italian coach leaves Real Madrid as the club’s most successful manager, having won 15 trophies across two spells.
Liverpool’s Mohamed Salah has publicly encouraged Kevin De Bruyne to consider joining the Reds this summer. De Bruyne is set to leave Manchester City when his contract expires in June, and he has hinted that he’s open to playing for another Premier League club. While there’s been talk of interest from Major League Soccer in the US, Salah made it clear that Liverpool would welcome the Belgian midfielder with open arms.
Speaking to Sky Sports, Salah praised De Bruyne’s career and his impact on English football. “I want to say congratulations on an incredible career,” Salah said. “He’s done amazing work at City and has been a key player for the league.” With Liverpool now Premier League champions, fans will be eager to see if De Bruyne takes up Salah’s invitation and joins the fight at Anfield.
