Kylian Mbappé's "Monumental Anger" After Real Madrid's Incredible Medical Error

11 de julio de 2026Pablo Navarro2 min

Kylian Mbappé expressed profound dissatisfaction following a significant error made by Real Madrid's medical team when assessing his injury last December. He was reportedly visibly irritated upon discovering that an MRI had been performed on his right knee, despite his pain actually being in his left knee.

This astonishing oversight could have had serious repercussions. Reports indicate that Real Madrid's medical staff made an unimaginable blunder when evaluating Kylian Mbappé's injury last December. The club's doctors simply confused the French forward's knees, performing an MRI on his right leg when he was suffering from his left leg, causing significant irritation for the national team captain.

Reports suggest that Kylian Mbappé entered a "monumental rage" upon discovering this astonishing error. This "serious mistake sowed chaos within Real Madrid's medical department, endangered the player, and deprived the team of its big star for many matches," a sports publication highlighted.

Mbappé Sought Consultation in France

Exasperated by persistent pain and repeated absences over several weeks, the 27-year-old forward opted to consult specialists in France for a second medical opinion, different from that of Real Madrid. He met with Professor Bertrand Sonnery-Cottet, known for having previously treated figures such as Karim Benzema and Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Having ruled out surgery, Kylian Mbappé initiated an intensive "fitness and muscle-building protocol" to optimize his return to the field.

"I didn't go through this period in the best possible way; I wasn't exactly the happiest player in the world," the national team captain stated, the day before his departure for the United States for friendly matches against Brazil and Colombia, as part of the preparations for the 2026 World Cup.

"He Is Extremely Relieved Today"

Within the entourage of the 2018 World Champion, "there is still perplexity, and an inability to understand how such an error could have occurred." Initially, there was a sense of surprise, followed by significant anger. Currently, at the end of March, the player has departed for Boston, and medical assessments indicate he is "100%." "I believe he is extremely relieved today, truly relieved." It is understood that he no longer holds a grudge against Real Madrid, as "it is now in the past." However, had the injury been aggravated, "we would not be speaking like this, and the story would be different." Today, the aim is to "turn the page," and he was smiling before his departure for the United States.
