Thunder struck in Madrid. After a blistering start to the season, Kylian Mbappé has been forced to slam the brakes on his incredible momentum. Suffering from knee pain for several weeks, the French forward will now have to undergo a long period of rest, estimated at nearly three weeks. A massive blow for Real.
The news came after thorough medical examinations revealed a ligament injury. A serious issue that had gone untreated for too long and could have worsened without swift medical intervention. The result: a forced shutdown, a disrupted schedule, and growing concern over the physical condition of the club’s number 10.
Real Madrid Without Its Star Striker
Mbappé had been simply unstoppable. With 29 goals in 24 matches, the world’s top scorer in 2025 was carrying Madrid’s attack almost single-handedly. Despite the pain, he kept playing, gritting his teeth and masking his limits with sheer efficiency — until the breaking point.
The timing could not be worse. Real now faces a run of crucial fixtures without its main attacking weapon, while Xabi Alonso has already lost Endrick. Stripped of their offensive catalyst, the Merengues are stepping into dangerous territory. For Mbappé, the priority is clear: avoid a relapse. But one question already looms large in Madrid — can Real survive without its number one weapon?
