Assisted by Jude Bellingham, Mbapp\u00e9 netted a gem, strengthening his team\u2019s lead. However, he missed the chance to widen the scoreline in the second half, failing to convert several clear opportunities, including two one-on-ones, much to the frustration of his teammates, notably Thibaut Courtois.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Courtois criticizes and motivates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-twitter wp-block-embed-twitter\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\"><p lang=\"zxx\" dir=\"ltr\"><a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Ds9OuZENEb\" rel=\"nofollow\">https:\/\/t.co\/Ds9OuZENEb<\/a><\/p>&mdash; Real de Madrid (@realdemadridapp) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/realdemadridapp\/status\/1863278141516501195?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">December 1, 2024<\/a><\/blockquote><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>After the match, Courtois praised the team\u2019s collective response while highlighting areas for improvement:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;We reacted well after Wednesday\u2019s defeat. We could have scored two more goals, but in the second half, we forgot to play. What\u2019s unfortunate is that Kylian couldn\u2019t capitalize on his chances. It will come; he\u2019ll score plenty.
