<p>The night ended in disappointment for Los Blancos as Liverpool <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/lists/liverpool-player-ratings-vs-real-madrid-alexis-mac-allister-conor-bradley-mohamed-salah/blt0376887f6b91fcc8" target="_blank">emerged victorious by a 2-0 margin</a>, deepening the Spanish side’s woes in the Champions League. Alexis Mac Allister found the breakthrough in the 52nd minute but Real Madrid had a chance to equalise shortly after when Andy Robertson brought down substitute Lucas Vazquez in the penalty box. However, Mbappe’s attempt from the spot lacked conviction and was saved by Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Real Madrid supporters voiced their frustration with Mbappe on social media, whose recent form has drawn criticism.</p><p>One X user, <a href="https://x.com/LibanLDN/status/1861883055008326139" target="_blank">@LibanLDN</a> remarked, “Sums up Mbappe’s night and season so far.

WHAT THE FANS ARE SAYING

<p>Mbappe’s penalty miss has highlighted a broader issue with Real Madrid’s recent performances, which have been plagued by inconsistency and a lack of clinical finishing. For Mbappe, the pressure to deliver is mounting, with fans expecting him to live up to his reputation as one of the world’s best players.</p><p>The defeat marked Real Madrid’s third loss in their last five league-phase matches, leaving the team in a precarious position. They currently sit 24th in the standings, just two points above the relegation zone. With only three games remaining in the group stage, time is running out for Madrid to salvage their campaign.</p>

THE BIGGER PICTURE

<p>Real Madrid's upcoming fixtures in the Champions League include a challenging away match against Atalanta, followed by home games against RB Salzburg and Brest at the Santiago Bernabeu in January 2025. A tough road ahead for Carlo Anceloti's men in Europe!</p>
