The match between Real Madrid and Liverpool in the Champions League witnessed two wasted penalty kicks from both teams.
The beginning was from Kylian Mbappe in the 58th minute, after Lucas Vazquez won a penalty kick minutes after he came on, and the French international went to take it.
Mbappe decided to shoot the ball to the left of goalkeeper Kelleherer, but Alisson’s substitute succeeded in brilliantly blocking the kick.

While the score indicated Liverpool’s lead 1-0 with a goal by Mac Allister, Mohamed Salah was able to win a penalty kick after he was obstructed by Ferland Mendy in the 69th minute.
Salah, who scored a penalty kick in the last moments against Southampton a few days ago, fired a very powerful shot to the right of Thibaut Courtois, who threw himself on the other side.
Unfortunately for the Egyptian star, his shot went outside the goal, to the astonishment of everyone at Anfield Stadium.

It is noteworthy that Salah has scored 3 penalties this season in the Premier League, and in general this is the second penalty kick that the “Egyptian King” has missed in the Champions League after one against Milan two years ago.
As for Mbappe, who previously scored 3 penalties in the 2022 World Cup final, he has taken 3 penalties this season with Real Madrid, all of them in La Liga and he successfully scored them, and this is the first time he has failed with the Merengue shirt.
