Atalanta striker accused of exaggeration? Controversial penalty awarded against Brugge

In Matchday 2 of the UEFA Champions League, Atalanta hosted Brugge, and the second half produced a highly debatable incident.

Details: Trailing 0-1 after the first half, Atalanta were awarded a penalty midway through the second period. However, looking at screenshots of the challenge, the foul hardly appears clear-cut. The Atalanta forward seemed to go down a little too easily, raising questions over whether he embellished the contact.

Mbappé also became the first player to score all of Real Madrid’s goals in a new Champions League season. He struck twice against Marseille and has now added another against Kairat — all three coming from penalties.

Reminder: Over the past month, the forward has found the net in every game he has played — for both club and country.
