Xabi Alonso Responds to Questions About Mbappe

Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé did not feature in the Champions League match against Manchester City. The French star remained on the bench.

Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso chose not to risk the player's health, even though the team was trailing from the 43rd minute. As a result, the Madrid club suffered a 2-1 defeat.

"Of course, the team misses Mbappé's performance when he's not on the field. Today, we had numerous opportunities to score.

Will Kylian play against Alavés? At the moment, we cannot provide a definite forecast," Madrid Universal quoted Alonso as saying.

The match between Real Madrid and Alavés is scheduled to take place on Sunday, December 14. Read “Zamin” on Telegram!
