Forced to come out after a little over half an hour of play following an injury against Atalanta Bergamo (2-3), Kylian Mbappé had a little difficulty in stringing together the efforts, according to a reassuring Carlo Ancelotti.
Probably more fear than harm for Kylian Mbappé. The evening experienced by the number 9 of Real Madrid was contrasted, with a feeling of joy at first, following his opening of the score in the 10th minute after an elimination of Marten De Roon on his control oriented from the left, but he then had to leave the Gewiss Stadium pitch in the 36th minute due to muscle discomfort. Obviously disappointed, the star summer recruit of the Merengue club should not worry the supporters of the reigning Spanish and European champion more than that, according to the reassuring comments made by Carlo Ancelotti in the mixed zone.
“It doesn’t seem serious,” says Ancelotti
“He has an overload, discomfort in his hamstrings. We will have to examine that in the coming days. It doesn't seem serious, but he had to stop, because he couldn't manage to sprint… it bothered him a little so we preferred to change him,” said the Italian, who did not want to complain about the numerous injuries affecting his team, but felt that Real could have been more. still performing if Mbappé had remained on the field (in press conference). “He started very well. He scored a good goal and created another opportunity. Vini (Vinicius, editor's note) came down a lot to bring out the central defender. Mbappé could have given us a lot more, because Rodrygo was not not 100%. With Mbappé at 100%, we could have done even better.
By scoring against Atalanta Bergamo, Kylian Mbappé scored his 50th goal in the queen of European competitions, like Mohamed Salah with Liverpool in Girona (0-1). The Real Madrid and Blues center forward became the second youngest player to reach this total behind the eternal Lionel Messi (in 2012, 24 years and 284 days).
