Real Madrid and France Kylian Mbappe should not be taking penalties at Real Madrid, according to a former France star.
Mbappe has now missed two penalties in three games for Los Blancos after he had a penalty saved in the 2-1 defeat to Athletic Bilbao on Wednesday evening.

Vinicius Junior, who is Madrid's regular penalty taker, missed the last few games with injury but Mbappe has taken responsibility ahead of the likes of Jude Bellingham and Rodrygo.
Former France midfielder Kevin Diaz claims penalties is not a speciality for the former Paris Saint-Germain star.
"Looking at the missed penalty - it's clear that anyone can miss a penalty. However, the issue lies in Mbappe wanting to take penalties despite not being a penalty specialist," Diaz told RMC Sport.
"He demonstrated this again over the weekend and also in the match against Liverpool. He's not particularly skilled at taking penalties.
"He pretends to watch the goalkeeper, but when it comes to the actual kick, he doesn't look at the keeper at all. Perhaps he's trying to emulate Neymar, especially considering the controversy surrounding penalties during his time at Paris Saint-Germain.
"This example of the penalty reflects, to some extent, what frustrates people about Kylian Mbappe."
