Kylian Mbappé missed Real Madrid’s final training session before Wednesday’s Champions League clash with Manchester City which has been billed as a “do-or-die” fixture for his under-pressure manager Xabi Alonso.
The French forward was thought to be carrying an injury throughout Sunday’s sloppy showing against Celta Vigo, yet battled through the pain to last the full 90 minutes. Mbappé came close to nabbing what would have been an equalizing goal with a deft lob which looped narrowly past the crossbar.
