Prior to Tuesday’s game in Italy, the Spanish powerhouses had lost three of their five games in Europe this year.

They therefore required a win to increase their prospects of making it to the knockout stage. Which they achieved with this empowering performance.

In the tenth minute. France international Real Madrid wins as Mbappe. Broke free of his man and finished with a clever finish to start the scoring.

Later in the first half, he charged through the middle, but his attempt from outside the box was saved. It was his 12th goal since joining Real Madrid in the summer.

However, Mbappe appeared to sustain an injury nine minutes before halftime. And although he was able to leave the field, Rodrygo took his place, dealing a blow to the away team.

Sead Kolasinac went down inside the area. And Charles De Ketelaere’s penalty kick on the stroke of halftime gave Atalanta the equalizer.

Real Madrid’s significant victory, but worries about Mbappe

Since joining Real Madrid in the summer. Mbappe has found it difficult to replicate his success at Paris St-Germain. But he was excited for this match from the start.

The Atalanta defense was being stretched and alarmed by the forward’s deft runs in behind. And his goal was a reminder of his extraordinary quality.

In 79 Champions League games, he has scored 50 goals. Making him the second-youngest player (25 years and 356 days) to do so. Following Lionel Messi in 2012 (24 years and 284 days).

Real supporters will be relieved that he was able to leave without assistance. But his performance made the injury he sustained all the more worrisome.

They will be hoping he does not join the list of injured players that already includes Eduardo Camavinga, Eder Militao, and Dani Carvajal.

“Mbappe’s hamstrings are a little sore. “We will see [on Wednesday], but it does not appear serious,” Carlo Ancelotti, the manager of Real Madrid, stated.

“We decided it would be best to replace him because he was unable to run and it caused him some pain.”
