MADRID - Kylian Mbappe hit "rock bottom" with a penalty miss at Athletic Bilbao earlier in December as he struggled to adapt to his new surroundings at Real Madrid, but the French forward said he used that disappointment to fuel his recent return to form.
Mbappe left Paris Saint-Germain in the close season as the French club's all-time top scorer, but his move to Real has been plagued by teething problems, while a hamstring injury and a thigh issue have also hampered his ability to settle in.
However, since missing his second penalty in a week in a 2-1 loss at Bilbao, Mbappe has scored four goals in all competitions, including the opener in the 4-2 La Liga win over Sevilla on Dec 22.
