Mbappé and Bellingham: penalty appeals and tension against Valencia

Kylian goes down in the box, asking for a penalty. and Stole comes over to make things crystal clear.

He walks away from the assistant referee with this smile.

Right. To finish with: “It’s a penalty, isn’t it?”

Meanwhile, Hernández Maeso calms the goalkeeper down.

It’s clear, there’s nothing there. That’s it.

Keep an eye on this pair, they’ll face off again at the end.

Kuku tries to get some distance. Javi Guerra complains, and Kuku says: “What’s your problem, huh?

Come on, what are you complaining about?”

Next time, Javi touches the ball. Kuku is furious, and the referee says: “Next time, you’re getting a card.”

They come face-to-face again. Javi gets away from Kuku, Kuku steals it from Javi and they stare each other down.

Before— Mafeo is doing his own thing.

Kylian goes down again and asks for a red card.

Arda asks, “A red?” And Francisco, the captain: “You and you, off.”

Mayoral tells Kylian to stop crying and get up.

Gaia is stunned, and Mbappé is stunned because it isn't a red card since he got the ball.

José calls for some composure while Jude and Javi argue: “If it's a foul, it's a red card.

If it's a foul, it's a red card.” Mafeo is worried about Jan, and Jan is about to go completely nuts.

Aguirre keeps at it: “It's a red, it's a red, red, red.”

We've got a new dance partner. Pepelu caresses Jude's ankle.

Jude breaks Pepelu's ankles and gives up the 0–2.

And he gives up the goal, too. Sadiq is made to spend a minute off the pitch, though it's not just one minute off, and when he comes back, he has words for everyone.

First with Jan, then Jude, then back to Jan and finally Tchou.

A scuffle almost breaks out, with Yusé in the middle.

Along the way, Mafeo and Jude are going to clash, But Pepelu gives Bellingham a few little taps with a message.

Heads up, an important talk. I don't care about the Ballon d'Or.

I don't even care. I don't care about the Ballon d'Or.

The Ballon d'Or? I don't care about the Ballon d'Or.

Who's going to give it out? You? The Ballon d'Or doesn't matter.

Whatever. This isn't over. The center-back gives the number five another couple of little taps that make Kylian smile.

He'll send it into the stands. He takes this grab and, after asking, "A card," he turns to the stands and says, "Huh? Mine?"

Bellingham and Pepelu are up to their own thing too.

The Englishman slows down, gets the ball and dances past the whole defense, about to make it three.

Kiki does manage to make it three-nil on the scoreboard.

Happiness passes as quickly as this scratch from Gayà that ends in a red card.

The crowd gets fired up.

Victoriano, Victoriano, Victoriano, Victoriano.

A familiar chant begins.

Mbappé goes to Braña's guys. Mbappé goes to Braña's guys. He makes his first feint and with a huge smile: “Ih.”

But don't worry, we said they'd be back.

Jude goes down in the box, Stole tells him off for getting up and there goes Kylian.

“Hey, hey,” with a couple of little messages in French before ending with an “Ih.”

I always score on you. I always score on you.”
