Real Madrid, the world's most prestigious club, made an unprecedented skit by misdiagnosing the injury of Kylian Mbappe (28), the team's flagship star. It was revealed that the medical staff made a fatal mistake by examining the right knee instead of the injured left knee.

The Athletic, a sports media outlet, reported on the 25th (Korea time) that "Mbappe's knee injury worsened when Real Madrid medical staff scanned the wrong leg in December last year."

On the same day, Spain's leading magazine "Marca" also strongly criticized Mbappe's knee injury, saying, "It is a disaster that began after Real Madrid's medical staff made a misdiagnosis."

In addition, Daniel Riolo, a reporter for the local French RMC, said, "It wasn't just a mistake, it was a major accident. Mbappe played without knowing where he was sick. "I almost completely smashed my knee," he said. "Do you believe the medical staff examined the other knee. But that's what really happened. Don't you know how dangerous it is to keep playing while injured?" he revealed the collapse of the club's medical system.

It's a shocking incident. According to local reports such as "The Athletic," Mbappe was found to have played three more games despite inflammation in his left knee, which is the actual injured area, after being diagnosed with no abnormalities after a scan of his right knee.

According to the media, Mbappe suffered a knee bruise during a home game between Celta Vigo and La Liga in December last year. After that, Mbappe was expected to rest after missing Manchester City and the UEFA Champions League (UCL).

However, in the process, Real Madrid's fatal mistake occurred. Mbappe returned believing in the wrong screening results and played 90 minutes of full season in all three remaining games in 2025. Mbappe's injured area was being devastated by the fatal misdiagnosis.

In the end, Mbappe collapsed in late December, shortly after the Christmas break, complaining of pain in his left knee during training. The reexamination confirmed partial rupture of the posterior cruciate ligament. However, the club officially announced Mbappe's injury the next day as a knee sprain.

These medical staff's mistakes also adversely affected the team's performance. Mbappe played 14 minutes in the SuperCopa final against FC Barcelona in January, but failed to prevent his team's 2-3 defeat in the end. "The Athletic" analyzed, "The loss of Mbappe's participation in the game eventually became the decisive blow leading to the replacement of former coach Xavi Alonso."

Even under new coach Alvaro Arbeloa, Mbappe's condition is like a time bomb. "We are checking Mbappe's condition every day," Arbeloa said. We want him back to 100%," he said, but Mbappe has missed two of his last five games and has had to travel all the way to Paris, France, for a thorough examination and treatment.

Even an insider of the club expressed concern about Mbappe's knee condition, saying, "Some days are fine, but some days, the unstable condition of pain is repeated."
