In the final minutes of Real Madrid's game against Alaves, Kylian Mbappe 'spoiled' the party at the Santiago Bernabeu before Alaves' goals by leaving the pitch with muscle discomfort. The Frenchman touched the back of his left thigh under the watchful eye of Carlo Ancelotti.

Before the visitors added some excitement to the home straight, Real Madrid's match against Alaves was a party. Los Blancos were 3-0 up, the Santiago Bernabeu was having fun and the fans were even calling for Vallejo, who came on as soon as he was called upon by the stands. However, the party was marred by Kylian Mbappe's discomfort in his left thigh.

The Frenchman was rumoured to be rested on Tuesday, but the rotations were not present in Carlo Ancelotti's starting eleven. A few moments before the substitution, the forward approached the touchline and started stamping his feet on the turf, as if testing himself.

Finally, he put his hand to his left thigh area and went out on the sideline. Ancelotti went over and exchanged some impressions with the Frenchman, who left the pitch alongside Eder Militao to bring on Vallejo and Arda Guler.
