Real Madrid's star forward Kylian Mbappé took full responsibility for the team's 2-1 defeat against Athletic Club in a LaLiga match.
The game, held at San Mamés Stadium, saw Athletic Club take the lead with Alex Berenguer's goal in the 53rd minute. Mbappé had an opportunity to equalize from the penalty spot but failed to convert, marking his second missed penalty in just one week.
Despite Jude Bellingham managing to level the score in the 78th minute, a defensive error by Federico Valverde allowed Gorka Guruzeta to secure the winning goal for Athletic Club in the 80th minute.
Following the match, Mbappé expressed his disappointment on Instagram, stating, "Bad result. 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."
This loss marked Real Madrid's fourth defeat in their last seven games across all competitions, highlighting a challenging period for the reigning LaLiga champions.
