'Ace' There was no name for Mbappe. He even conducted team training ahead of the match. There was a reason for departure. British media Daily Star reported on the 19th that Mbappe was hospitalized. Real Madrid said on the club's website 'Mbappe suffers from acute gastroenteritis. He has been admitted for various tests and treatments,' the official statement said. Earlier, Alonso said "Mbappe is a little better, but it's not enough. It's better not to train."
Real Madrid will face Pachuca (Mexico, 23rd) and Salzburg (Austria, 27th). Team talk is 'Gastroenteritis is an intestinal infection that causes vomiting or diarrhea. It is unclear whether Mbappe will be able to return to the group stage.

From Real Madrid's point of view, it is bound to be embarrassing. Mbappe is the ace of Real Madrid. He wore Real Madrid's uniform through the summer 2024 transfer window. He scored 28 goals in the 2024-2025 Spanish Primera Liga. Alfredo Di Stefano broke the La Liga record for the most goals in 71 years in his debut season. Di Stefano scored 27 goals for Real Madrid in the 1953–1954 season. In addition, Mbappe has scored 40 goals in a total of 53 games this season. Ivan Samorano also broke the record of most goals (including cup tournaments) in his debut season in 32 years. Samorano played in 45 games and scored 37 goals in the 1992-93 season. Despite Mbappe's performance, Real Madrid couldn't laugh. He won the European Super Cup and the Intercontinental Cup earlier in the season. For the first time in four years since the 2020-2021 season, he has not topped major tournaments such as the league, Copa del Rey, and European Champions League (UCL). In the end, he chose to change. After breaking up with coach Carlo Ancelotti, Alonso led the team.
Alonso's debut, coincidentally, was without Mbappe. Real Madrid suffered. Real Madrid scored the first goal in the 34th minute of the first half. However, he allowed his opponent to score a penalty kick in the 41st minute of the first half. Real Madrid scored a penalty in the 42nd minute of the second half for an opponent's foul. However, Federico Valverde's shot as a kicker was blocked and he bowed his head. The game came to an end on a one-on-one basis.
