Kylian Mbappé was left stunned and furious after a major medical mistake by Real Madrid nearly worsened his knee injury. The French star, who joined the club in 2024 after leaving Paris Saint-Germain, had been dealing with a left knee problem sustained against RC Celta de Vigo. However, concerns quickly arose regarding the diagnosis provided by the club’s medical staff.
Unconvinced by the treatment, Mbappé sought further examinations in France, where doctors reportedly discovered that Real Madrid had initially examined the wrong knee. The error delayed proper treatment and forced the player to manage his condition under uncertain circumstances. The situation led to internal consequences within the club, including the reported dismissal of several medical staff members.
Despite the setback, Mbappé eventually returned to action in the UEFA Champions League, but the incident left a strong mark.
Frustrated by the handling of his injury, the French forward and his entourage were deeply shocked, raising serious questions about the club’s medical processes and player care.
