The wayward forward was missing again as Los Blancos struggled to a disappointing draw.
The France captain failed to find the back of the net for the third straight game in a disappointing draw for Real Madrid.
This is not the Kylian Mbappe that Real Madrid was promised. Los Blancos’ big-name acquisition was missing for the third straight game, failing to impress in a 1-1 draw with Las Palmas.
The home side asserted themselves early on in the game, and it was good value for them to take a 1-0 lead. Ollie McBurnie set it up with a sliding pass, and Alberto Molero calmly finished it into the bottom corner. For a long time, Madrid seemed to have forgotten how to pass the ball. They were a disorganized side in the first half, and deservedly down at the break.
Carlo Ancelotti equalized on 68 minutes, however, when Vinicius Jnr fired a penalty into the net following an unfortunate handball in the box. And they never created a clear-cut chance from there. Mbappe skewed a couple of wide efforts. Vinicius dribbled and slashed to no avail.
By the end of it all, Ancelotti’s big-name front three were arguing with each other, disappointing figures as the league favorites dropped points for the second time in three games.
