Kylian Mbappé missed some time due to a knee injury, but the situation could have been far better if not for an error from the medical team.
Details: According to RMC Sport, during the initial examination Kylian Mbappé had the wrong knee assessed. The medical staff first checked his right knee and declared everything fine, but the injury was actually in his left knee. Mbappé subsequently continued playing, which led to the issue worsening.
Éder Militão will be back in action as early as the next match, having recovered from injury.
The next fixture will take place after the international break, on April 4, when Real Madrid face Mallorca in their Matchday 30 La Liga encounter.
Real secured a 3–2 victory over Atlético. Los Blancos remain firmly in the title race with Barcelona. They currently sit on 69 points, trailing Barça by four.
Reminder: The match also featured a controversial moment involving Federico Valverde’s dismissal and a heated exchange between the Real Madrid head coach and the referee.
