Real Madrid’s Mixed Emotions: Victory and Mbappé’s Injury

Real Madrid’s 3–2 win over Atalanta was overshadowed by Kylian Mbappé’s thigh injury. The French forward scored and appeared poised for a stellar performance before being forced off after 36 minutes. With Vinícius Junior recently returning from injury and contributing a goal and assist, Madrid’s squad depth is being tested. The severity of Mbappé’s injury remains unclear, leaving fans and the club anxious.

Once strong contenders, Sporting CP’s form has collapsed following Ruben Amorim’s departure. A 2–1 loss to Club Brugge marked their fourth consecutive defeat across all competitions. With just 10 points, their chances of progressing to the knockout stages hang by a thread. Striker Viktor Gyökeres continues to shine, but without support from midfield and defense, Sporting faces an uphill battle to salvage their campaign.
