As unprecedented as it is incomprehensible is what happened kylian mbappe at the beginning of PSG’s visit to Montpellier, in the 21st round of Ligue 1 in France. They were 20 minutes of terror in which he missed two consecutive penalties, missed the most unusual goal of his life and was out with an injury, probably a muscle one.
The attacker took charge of the penalty right from the start that the referee sanctioned at the dawn of the match – over the Spaniard Sergio Ramos – but it was the dawn of one of the most incredible nightmares of his football career.
It all started after six minutes, when the judge Jeremie Pignard indicated the maximum penalty and booked the Frenchman Christopher Jullien, for that offense against Ramos inside the area.
Mbappé took the ball and, after the approval of the VAR, executed with a strong cross shot on the right post of goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte, who guessed his intention just like Dibu Martínez in the World Cup final in Qatar, but in this case he could reject the ball
However, the VAR warned the referee that the goalkeeper did not have one of his feet resting on the line at the time the French attacker took the shot, but that they were in the air. That’s why Mbappé got a second chance.
But everything would get worse. First he had to rearrange the ball because it was in the hole on the penalty spot, then he chose to change the place of execution, but Lecomte once again guessed his intention, he grazed the ball which hit the left post and went still towards Mbappé, but it was too high for him and he lifted his attempt over the bar.
The black day for the ‘Turtle’ was crowned at 19 minuteswhen after receiving a strong infraction to the bandage, she was lying on the ground, she asked for medical assistance and recovered his departure from the field, with a suspected muscle discomfort in the hamstring of the left leg.
Trainer Christopher Galtier solved the entry of Hugo Ekitike, while Mbappé went directly to the locker room.
