It’s an intense match being played at Anfield between Liverpool and Real Madrid. Full of confidence, leaders of the Premier League and this Champions League before the start of the day, the Reds want to mark their territory against the Merengues deprived of many elements (Vinicius, Rodrygo, Militao, Tchouameni, etc.).
While Liverpool generally dominated this first period, without scoring (0-0 at the break), Kylian Mbappé had few opportunities to highlight himself. And the Bondynois was even mocked on social networks after an action with Virgil van Dijk.
Mbappé, head upside down
Victim of a shoulder charge that was rough to say the least from the Dutch defender, Mbappé found himself on the ground, completely backwards, his nose in the lawn. And this posture makes Internet users laugh a lot.
Note that Van Dijk did not receive a yellow card for this action. It was his teammate Ryan Gravenberch, for a virulent protest, who was warned at that time by French referee François Letexier.
