Over the weekend, Real Madrid secured a confident 2-0 victory over Getafe in La Liga.
In the first half, Kylian Mbappé handed over penalty duties to Jude Bellingham, who converted the spot-kick with composure.
This selfless act by the French forward caught the attention of Real Madrid's head coach, Carlo Ancelotti.
Quote: “Mbappé gave his penalty to Bellingham? Well, you can see he wasn’t a coward. We value this gesture very highly. I liked it; we liked it. Kylian was very generous,” the coach said, as quoted by Fabrizio Romano.
Reminder: Real goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois recently expressed confidence in Mbappé’s potential at Madrid, humorously comparing the Frenchman to a “ketchup bottle” that will eventually burst with goals.
