Valencia Backs USMNT’s Yunus Musah After Penalty Miss in Copa Del Rey Final

Valencia showed its support for midfielder Yunus Musah after he missed a crucial penalty in Saturday’s Copa del Rey final.

After Valencia played Real Betis to a 1–1 draw through 120 minutes, Musah stepped up for his side’s fourth penalty kick in the shootout and sent his shot over the bar. The U.S. men’s international team standout was the only player to miss during a kick in the shootout, as Real Betis won its first Copa del Rey title since 2004–05.

On Monday, the 19-year-old took to Instagram to express his dismay and thank fans for the support they’ve shown him—to which Valencia responded with a message of encouragement.
