  "account": "Barcelona, Spain (AP) — During Real Madrid's defeat to Real Betis at La Cartuja Stadium, Kylian Mbappé's penalty was saved by goalkeeper Álvaro Valles. The French forward attempted to score by aiming for the lower left side of the net. Valles, who had studied Mbappé's penalty-taking habits, anticipated the shot and deflected it away. Mbappé's miss came after Troy Parrott's 81st-minute goal for Real Madrid. Earlier in the match, Valles also made a crucial save by denying Jude Bellingham an early header. Despite his lackluster performance, Mbappé maintained his strong start to the season, scoring in two of his last three games, including a hat trick. However, his error in Seville proved costly.",
