Funny evening for Kylian Mbappé! The Bondynois experienced it all this Tuesday evening on the pitch of Atalanta Bergamo in the Champions League.
Signaled offside on his first call for the ball, the Real Madrid striker responded with a smile, something we had rarely seen on his face in recent weeks. In the process, Mbappé scored the 50th goal of his career in the Champions League with a nice sequence at the entrance to the area: oriented control from the left to clear his bodyguard, and powerful and placed shot to find the way nets (10th).
Speed, address, inspiration, finishing: it was very good Mbappé on this goal, and these are the kind of actions that the captain of the France team undoubtedly needs to regain this confidence which he seems to lack.
Mbappé leaves with injury
Unfortunately for him, his match ended before halftime. In the 33rd minute, Mbappé sat down in the central circle, obviously injured. After a few words exchanged with the medical staff, the change was requested, and Rodrygo came into play.
It’s a setback for Mbappé, who could miss his team’s final matches in 2024. Real Madrid still has two La Liga matches before the break, not forgetting the Intercontinental Cup final on December 18.
