Mbappe is the top scorer in the Champions League.
Tonight’s first leg of Real Madrid’s quarterfinal matchup with Bayern Munich will take place at the Santiago Bernabéu.
Under Alvaro Arbeloa, Madrid enter the match with some domestic disappointment. FC Barcelona‘s advantage at the top of LaLiga was extended to seven points after Madrid’s most recent game, a humiliating 2-1 loss to Mallorca on April 4.
However, now Madrid turn their focus to the Champions League as they face another big side in the quarterfinal tonight, which will be a huge test for Los Blancos.
Players will be eager to inspire the team to a win. The return of Mbappe will be a great boost for them ahead of this fixture.
