Vinicius Junior (24, Real Madrid), a problematic player who missed a penalty kick in an important match that took the victory, eventually lost the dedicated kicker.
Real lost 1-2 to Valencia in the 30th round of the La Liga in the 2024-25 season at Santiago Bernabeu in Madrid, Spain, on the 6th (Korea Standard Time).
The match was a very important match for Real. If he won on the day, he could tie Barcelona in points.
However, Vinicius, the team's ace, missed the penalty 13 minutes into the first half to turn the tide, ultimately humiliating Valencia to lose at the Santiago Bernabeu for the first time since 2008.
The defeat left second-place Real with 19 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses (63 points) of the season, and a day later, the gap with the leading Barcelona (67 points), which drew 1-1 with Real Betis, widened to four points, making the prospect of winning the league unclear.
As a result, coach Carlo Ancelotti seems to have made a decision after Vinicius' penalty missed in an important game and failed to win a point.
Spanish media "Marca" decided on the 7th to designate Kylian Mbappe (26) as the team's official penalty kick kick kicker. Mbappe will be in charge of penalties starting with the upcoming Champions League quarter-final against Arsenal,' he said.
"This season, Real have missed a total of five penalties in official games, the worst record since the 2013-14 season. In particular, Vinicius Junior missed a decisive opportunity to score in the match against Valencia (1-2 loss) in La Liga last weekend," he added, explaining why Ancelotti changed his dedicated kicker. 메이저사이트
