In the La Liga Round 4 match that concluded in the early hours of today, Real Madrid defeated Real Betis 2-0. In this game, Mbappe scored twice, and in a post-match interview, he talked about the penalty kick during the game.
During the match, Real Madrid was awarded a penalty kick opportunity, which Vinicius gave to Mbappe. Regarding this, Mbappe said, “Vinicius and I have resolved this issue through communication. Vinicius remains the first choice for penalties, followed by me. The coach has given us the power to make our own choices, and we must judge the direction of the game on the field. I did not insist on taking the penalty.”
“I came here to win all the championships and score goals. I should score in every game. I didn’t score in the first three games, and everyone was talking about it. Now, I just want to help the team win. I believe we will become more united and have a great season together.”
In the second half of this game, Vinicius created a penalty opportunity but generously gave the penalty kick to Mbappe, and after the latter scored, he signaled the entire stadium to cheer for him.
