Will Mbappé Be Back on the Field?
Real Madrid is preparing for the final matchday of the Champions League league phase, and Mbappé is a doubt for this last game.
The team's condition a few days before the match
According to a statement issued by Real Madrid, during preparations for the match against Benfica, French forward Kylian Mbappé underwent moderate, individual training, with Carreras also among those affected by this regimen.
Militao and Mendy have been working behind closed doors due to their injuries, which promise long recovery and waiting times.
Antonio Rüdiger also had group training sessions as well as individual workouts.
The team carried out possession drills, rondos, practiced crossing plays, and also did finishing drills. Finally, they played a small-sided game.
When and against whom do the Merengues play?
This Wednesday, the Merengues will face SL Benfica in the final match of the Champions League group stage. Mbappé remains a question mark in the squad; it’s unclear whether he’ll play against Benfica or not.
Real Madrid has a chance to move into second place
Today, Real Madrid is in third place with 15 points, behind Bayern Munich with 18 points. If Real Madrid wins this match with a favorable goal difference and Bayern Munich loses, Real Madrid could finish in second place, thereby changing the teams they could face in the next stage of the championship.
