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.

Football legend Rio Ferdinand has shared his prediction ahead of the FIFA World Cup final between Spain and Argentina.

While many have backed different teams to lift the trophy, Ferdinand said some fans have underestimated Argentina’s quality.

He said “I find it difficult to bet against Argentina. They have demonstrated remarkable character, determination, and resilience. I believe people have been somewhat disrespectful by calling them an average team; they are not.”

He continued “I think it is inappropriate and disrespectful. If you are saying that, you clearly do not watch enough football, as they are an excellent team, and in challenging situations, they become even better and stronger. However, I do believe Spain will win the match.”
