Still, Mbappe missed a penalty and did not resemble any superstar qualities he's exhibited in years past. Though Mo Salah also botched a penalty for Liverpool, Arne Slot's side won thanks to second-half goals by Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo.

Up stepped Mbappé, who is normally a master of the spot kick, but his strike down to Caoimhin Kelleher’s left was saved by the Irishman to the delight of Arne Slot and his side. To make matters worse, fans think they spotted an awkward moment in the tunnel before Madrid headed out for the second half.
