Real Madrid’s key attacking player for their Champions League match against Liverpool on Wednesday will be Kylian Mbappe, due to Vinicius Junior’s injury.
Real Madrid will face Liverpool at Anfield on Thursday in a crucial Champions League match, but they will be without Vinicius Junior. In addition to Junior’s absence, Real Madrid has struggled in the tournament, losing two out of four games and currently sitting in 21st place.
The French captain has had a difficult start in the Spanish capital, both on and off the field. However, he finally scored his first goal in five matches during Sunday’s La Liga game against Leganes.
Coach Carlo Ancelotti started Mbappe in his preferred left-wing position, and Mbappe rewarded him by scoring the opening goal at Butarque.
It’s worth noting that Vinicius created the scoring opportunity for Mbappe. With the Brazilian player sidelined for over three weeks, Mbappe will have to take on the responsibility of leading Real Madrid’s attack, starting with the game at Anfield.
Liverpool currently leads the Champions League group, while defending champions Real Madrid are in 18th place after surprising defeats to Lille and AC Milan in their first four matches.
In those four matches, Vinicius scored four Champions League goals, while Mbappe has only scored once in the European competition.
Mbappe has scored seven goals in 12 La Liga appearances, which isn’t a poor record. However, given his superstar status, his overall performances have been somewhat underwhelming.
The French forward, who was left out of his national team’s squad for the last two international breaks, believes he is gradually finding his form.
Real Madrid will be looking to improve their standing in the Champions League group table. Liverpool, on the other hand, will aim to maintain their lead.
