Kylian Mbappé

Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé has suffered a muscle injury, the LaLiga club said on Wednesday, casting doubt over the French international's participation in the weekend derby against Atletico Madrid.

Mbappé, signed from Paris St Germain this year, has been in fine form this season, scoring seven goals for Real in nine matches across all competitions.

The 25-year-old was substituted in the 80th minute of the 3-2 home win over Deportivo Alaves in LaLiga on Tuesday and gestured to his thigh while leaving the pitch.

Real Madrid survived a late scare as goals by Lucas Vazquez, Kylian Mbappé and Rodrygo gave them a 3-2 home win over Deportivo Alaves in LaLiga on Tuesday.

Carlos Benavidez and Kike Garcia scored in the 85th and 86th minutes for Alaves but Real held on to win a match they had mostly dominated.

Real doubled their lead in the 40th minute when Mbappé played a neat one-two with Jude Bellingham before cutting inside and slotting a tidy finish to the right of the goalkeeper.

Brazil and Real Madrid phenom Endrick made his Champions League debut on Tuesday and made it a memorable one as he scored in a 3-1 victory vs. Stuttgart.

Endrick was substituted into the game for Jude Bellingham in the 80th minute and scored 15 minutes later in stoppage time to secure the win. 

A Real Madrid counterattack saw the 18-year-old ignore the options of passing the ball to either Kylian Mbappé or Vini Jr. as he took the opportunity himself from 30 yards out.

MADRID — France forward Kylian Mbappé said on Tuesday he was so convinced he would one day play for Real Madrid that he began taking Spanish classes at school.

"Since I was a child, I knew my destiny was to play for Real Madrid," Mbappé said at a Bernabeu stadium packed with fans, many of them wearing replica shirts with his name.

The Lamine Yamal goal vs France during Spain’s 2-1 Euro semifinal victory is a moment that will be discussed for decades to come.

Yamal has been setting records left and right during this Euros campaign and found the back of the net for the first time on Tuesday. The 16-year-old is now the youngest player in history to score at the Euros.

With Spain trailing 1-0, Yamal audaciously struck from outside the France penalty area to score a worldie. Goalkeeper Mike Maignan was left with no chance as Yamine’s curling effort hit off the post and in.

DORTMUND — A Kylian Mbappé penalty was canceled out by Robert Lewandowski's spot kick as already-eliminated Poland held France to a 1-1 draw in Dortmund on Tuesday, meaning the French finish second in Group D.

Mbappé broke the deadlock in the 56th minute with his first European Championship goal – and the first scored by a French player at Euro 2024 – when he calmly slotted home a penalty given for Jakub Kiwior's clumsy challenge on Ousmane Dembele.

France secured an unconvincing 1-0 victory vs. Austria on Monday and two moments really stood out. One was an unusual Kylian Mbappé miss and the other was an even more shocking Landon Donovan hair on air.

Monday’s game was Donovan and broadcast partner Ian Darke’s third game in charge of this Euros. Fans hardly, if at all, got to see the two men in the broadcast booth during the first games. They were on the screen on Monday and good goly Donovan’s hair was something.

METZ, France, June 4 (Reuters) - Kylian Mbappé is thrilled his long-awaited move to Real Madrid has been confirmed, but the France captain is now concentrating on the national team as they prepare for Euro 2024.

Mbappé joined the Spanish club on Monday after his Paris Saint-Germain contract ended, and with the transfer saga finally over, the forward is delighted and relieved, but at a press conference on Tuesday he wanted to keep the focus on France.

Mbappé will be playing at the Santiago Bernabéu next season.
