Despite the loss, Mbappé continued to show his leadership on the field, providing key passes and showing glimpses of his usual brilliance. However, Real Madrid struggled to break down Bilbao’s resolute defense, with only a late goal from Vinícius Júnior offering a glimmer of hope.

With more important fixtures ahead, Real Madrid will be hoping their star signing can shake off the disappointment and lead them to better results in the coming weeks.
