The details of the brilliant response conjured up by Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappé to the attempts of Espanyol goalkeeper Joan García to put him off before stepping up to take a penalty have on Monday been revealed.
Real, of course, locked horns with Espanyol over the weekend.
And, en route to an eventual 4-1 rout, the aforementioned Mbappé was responsible for rounding out the scoring in Spain’s capital.
As much came with 90 minutes on the clock, upon Los Blancos being awarded a spot-kick.
Mbappé, who was yet to add his name to the scoresheet, was quickly handed the ball, to take responsibility of adding some gloss to the scoreline.
Prior to converting, though, the summer arrival in La Liga was approached by Espanyol no.1 Joan García, who had some choice words for Mbappé in an attempt to throw him off his game.
Still working on his Spanish, though, as much failed to have the desired effect on Real Madrid’s frontman, who humourously responded by assuring:
“I don’t understand a f**king word you just said to me.”
