The Reason Behind Mbappe's Lackluster Performance Against Atletico Revealed

Real Madrid defeated Atletico Madrid (2:1) yesterday in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16. However, Blancos star Kylian Mbappe did not play at the highest level.

Details. According to Marca, the reason for the forward's lackluster performance is a tooth extraction he underwent last week. Experts suggest that the French player's tooth was improperly removed, causing him discomfort and weakness for a certain period of time.

Quote. “It all depends on how the tooth is treated. If you don't touch the bone when extracting a tooth, recovery should take a maximum of three to four days or at most a week. If the tooth was removed correctly, you should be fine in three days.

When something goes wrong, you feel so weak that you can't even get up. Mbappe should have a team that can handle this, so I think there must be something more,” said dentist Juan Manuel Romano.

Reminder. The victory over Atletico was Real Madrid's milestone 300th win in UEFA Champions League history.
