A blunder that could have jeopardized Kylian Mbappé’s entire career has rocked Real Madrid in recent hours, sparking a media storm and raising serious questions about the Spanish club’s medical management. The controversy was ignited by journalist Daniel Riolo, who revealed on RMC that ‘the error was enormous.’ He explained that the player reportedly had the wrong knee examined instead of the injured one. Consequently, Mbappé continued to play for several days with an incorrect diagnosis, running the serious risk of aggravating his injury to a degree that could have ended his professional career.
Mbappé’s Decisive Action
Persistent knee problems prompted the French star to seek a second opinion, dissatisfied with the assessment provided by Real Madrid’s medical staff. Mbappé returned to France and consulted specialist Bertrand Sonnery-Cottet. This crucial decision came after yet another setback, which forced him to miss a key Champions League match. It was through this consultation that the truth finally emerged, leading to a clear diagnosis and an effective recovery plan. Mbappé’s own words corroborate the ordeal: ‘It was not an easy period, I was not happy.’
