Carlo Ancelotti publicly supports Kylian Mbappe following his penalty miss against Liverpool.

Real Madrid suffered their third Champions League defeat in five matches, falling 2-0 to Liverpool on Wednesday night. As a result, the reigning champions are in a dangerous situation in the league phase standings, sitting in the final play-off spot (24th).

Real Madrid had a dismal night, according to Marca, and Carlo Ancelotti assessed his team's performance.

"We did well in the first half. We defended well as a unit. The transitions were terrific, but we made the wrong option with the last ball. We could have evened it with the penalty. "We will improve."


Ancelotti also publicly supported Kylian Mbappe, who had his penalty saved by Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher with the score still 1-0.

"Kylian Mbappe has everyone's support and will quickly recover from this terrible period. He is an exceptional player; we must be patient. He's doing well and adapting nicely."

Real Madrid will attempt to bounce back this weekend when they host Getafe at the Santiago Bernabeu. They return to Champions League play in two weeks when they travel to face Atalanta.

According to L'Equipe, Les Bleus coach Didier Deschamps will confront the former PSG forward about his desire to continue wearing the captain's armband. The manager, a former France captain, reportedly wants to know if Mbappé feels the captaincy is too much for him to bear, and if wearing the captain's armband affects his time with his France teammates.
