Mbappe netted a goal in their first-leg defeat to Bayern.
Real Madrid will play Bayern Munich in the second leg of their quarterfinal Champions League match at the Allianz Arena tonight.
Real Madrid still have a slim chance, as they are just a goal down against Bayern Munich. Given Bayern’s considerable domination and multiple scoring opportunities during the game, the gap could have been much larger.
While Kylian Mbappé’s goal for Real Madrid in the 74th minute kept the match alive, goals from Luis Díaz and Harry Kane helped Bayern prevail.
Real Madrid trail Bayern Munich by just one goal, but they still have a chance to reverse the outcome after playing poorly for the majority of the first leg. Both teams anticipate a tight game with an offensive strategy predominating due to the close score.
Additionally, supporters are keeping a careful eye on Kylian Mbappé’s situation because his presence could be crucial in the Champions League quarterfinals.
Kylian Mbappé is in excellent physical shape after avoiding injuries in previous games. Coach Álvaro Arbeloa may choose to start the Frenchman in the hopes that his scoring prowess can help reverse the outcome.
He was important in the first leg, so another outstanding performance is anticipated. By doing this, he might try to allay criticism over his otherwise outstanding season.
