As unprecedented as it is incomprehensible is what happened to
Kylian Mbappé
at the start of PSG's visit to Montpellier, on the 21st date of Ligue 1 in France.
They were
20 terrifying minutes
in which he missed two consecutive penalties, missed the most unusual goal of his life and left due to an injury, probably muscular.
From the outset, the forward took charge of the penalty that the referee sanctioned at the dawn of the game - a finite hold on the Spanish 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 admonished 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 to the right post of the goalkeeper Benjamin Lecomte, who guessed the intention just like Dibu Martínez in the World Cup final in Qatar, but in this case he could reject the ball
However, from the VAR they warned the referee that the goalkeeper did not have one of the two feet resting on the line at the time of the execution of the shot by the French striker, but that they were in the air.
That's why Mbappé had a second chance
.
But everything was going to get worse
.
First he had to rearrange the ball because it was in a hole on the penalty mark, then he chose to change the place of execution, but Lecomte guessed his intention again, he grazed the ball that hit the left post and went towards Mbappé again, but it was too high for him and he raised his attempt over the crossbar.
The black day for the "Tortoise" was crowned at 19 minutes
, when after having received a strong violation on the band, he was lying on the ground, asked for medical attention and resolved
to leave the field,
with an
alleged muscle discomfort in the hamstring of the left leg
.
The coach
Christophe Galtier
resolved the entry of Hugo Ekitike, while Mbappé went directly to the locker room.
