La Liga 25/26

The picture is misleading. I rewatched the scene. He makes a jump to play the ball with the heel, that's the photo. Then he lands and the defender hits him. It's a clear penalty.

Here, watch it with 0.5 speed, minute 2:00. Of course Mbappe falls down like a tree being cut, but most of the strikers would do it too.

Kounde would have got a yellow for stamping on the opponent.

Was that Moncayola again? He had done some dumb shit in first half when I was watching too.

Never ceases to amaze me how fucking stupid some of these players are. Why would you lunge like that inside the box vs RM, at Bernabeu too? It's like 90% risk of conceding a pen. It's an incredibly soft pen but we know Mbappe, Vini and Jude fall like they've been shot at slighest wind gust.

That's a clear penalty. It's been like that since ages, making a defender pay for a shit and dumb tackle is the attacker's prerogative. If you don't know how to speculate that, then you're not a very good striker.]

Fabricating contact is very different than choosing not to avoid it. There's no such rule that says an attacker is obligated to avoid a poor tackle. Just follow your normal path to the ball, and if you're tripped, foul.

Nothing to discuss, clearest pen I've seen in months. Defender goes with a sliding tackle, misses the ball, and takes out Mbappe's planted foot.

and takes out Mbappe's planted foot.

Legends say that mbappe initiates first contact by standing on ankle.

That's the real question. He should have known better.

100 percent penalty imo. Unfortunately.
