Players’ Reactions During the Penalty Shootout
Yesterday was another historic Champions League night for Real Madrid, a hard-fought battle that went all the way to penalties against Atlético de Madrid.
We all watched the penalty shootout on TV, but in this video, we can see it from a different angle, capturing the reactions of all the players during the intense moments.
One of the standout moments was Kylian Mbappé, who was so nervous that he almost ripped his pants. His tension was so high that, at the end of the shootout, he had a clash with an Atlético player and ended up receiving a yellow card from the referee.
Then came the final, decisive penalty by Rüdiger, followed by an explosion of joy—him sprinting like Usain Bolt with all his teammates chasing behind. We also see the players heading toward the section of Real Madrid fans, but right below them were Atlético supporters. Some of them threw bottles, though luckily, nothing too serious happened.

It’s fair to say no one in the room saw the double touch 😅
