Real Madrid’s 3–1 win over Villarreal was marred by a reported ankle injury to Kylian Mbappé.
The Frenchman made his 12th consecutive start for both club and country in 2025–26, bagging a goal and an assist in Real Madrid’s final match ahead of the October international break. The celebrations at the Santiago Bernabéu quickly turned sour, though, when Mbappé went to ground in noticeable pain.
