Real Madrid’s Champions League dreams were jolted after Kylian Mbappé was forced off injured in the tense quarter-final return leg against Arsenal.
The French forward, who has been crucial to Madrid’s attack this season, left the pitch in the 75th minute and was replaced by Brahim Diaz.
The injury came after a physically demanding night with Arsenal. Though Mbappé’s knock may seem minor, fans are nervously watching for updates ahead of the crucial Copa del Rey final against Barcelona.
For now, the striker is also due to miss Madrid’s next game through suspension, offering a chance to recover. Still, the sight of their talisman limping off has raised fresh doubts about Madrid’s ability to finish the season strong.
Madrid will be counting on a quick recovery, as Mbappé has been a vital part of their push for silverware. With Barcelona coming up and more games to play, every match without him could be costly.
