Match events
Kylian Mbappe, Real Madrid's star, delivered a notable moment by scoring the equalizer against Girona at Montilivi on Sunday in La Liga round 14.
The decisive spot-kick arrived after Hugo Rincón clipped Vinícius Júnior inside the box.
Mbappe wasted no time, driving the ball to the left of keeper Gazzaniga to level in the 67th minute, after his earlier goal was ruled out for a handball.
Mbappe also increased his tally this season to seven penalties across all competitions, the most in Europe's top five leagues, according to Opta.
The match finished 1-1, leaving Real Madrid on 33 points in second place, one behind leaders Barcelona.
Penalty stats and standings
Real Madrid's result keeps them within shouting distance of the title race, with Barcelona still in front. Mbappe's penalty tally this season adds another layer to Madrid's attack as they chase consistency in a tight league.
Punchline 1: Mbappe's penalties are so on target, the goals filed a restraining order against the posts.
Punchline 2: If penalties paid the rent, Mbappe would own Europe by now.
