The Frenchman had his chance to impress in Vinicius Junior's absence but not much went right for him at Anfield

Both Kylian Mbappé and Mohamed Salah missed penalties in the second half of Liverpool’s 2-0 victory over Real Madrid.

Heavy is the head that wears the crown as Kylian Mbappe has found out since his transfer to Real Madrid. His performance at Anfield encapsulated his poor start to life with the Spanish giants.

Real Madrid fans unhappy with Kylian Mbappe's below-par performance during the UEFA Champions League game against Liverpool.

It got worse for Mbappe after the break when he had the chance to make it 1-1 from the penalty spot after Alexis Mac Allister had given six-time European champion Liverpool the lead. But with Caoimhin Kelleher to beat, he saw his effort pushed away by Liverpool's back-up goalkeeper.

Striker Kylian Mbappe had another subdued and disappointing performance for Real Madrid on Wednesday, failing to seriously trouble Liverpool's defence and missing a penalty in their 2-0 Champions League defeat at Anfield.
