Barcelona president Joan Laporta has taken a swipe at Kylian Mbappe after the French forward scored a last-gasp penalty in Real Madrid’s win over Rayo Vallecano.
Mbappe stepped up late on to convert from the spot and seal the points for Carlo Ancelotti’s side, but the dramatic finish quickly became the talking point beyond the Bernabeu.
Laporta was asked about the incident and responded with a mocking remark aimed at both Madrid and their new star, questioning the decision that led to the penalty being awarded.
Real, who have relied on Mbappe’s goals since his high-profile arrival, left the match with a victory, while Rayo were left furious at the decisive moment that went against them in the closing stages.
The Barcelona chief’s comments added fresh fuel to an already heated rivalry, with Laporta making clear he was unimpressed by the way the game was settled, and taking the chance to poke fun at Madrid’s latest match-winner.
