Kepa, on the other hand, failed to replicate some of his recent heroics and then shot his kick wildly over the bar.

The 27-year-old admits to being “disappointed,” but vows to “keep working.”

“To rise and fall. Disappointed after putting in a lot of effort during the tournament. We continue to work.

“Thank you for your support, @ChelseaFC family,” Kepa tweeted.

Chelsea had won the Super Cup, thanks to Kepa’s two penalty saves, including the game-winning spot-kick from Raul Albiol.

Chelsea won in a shoot-out in the third round of the Carabao Cup after Kepa saved a penalty from Aston Villa’s Marvelous Nakamba.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
