Kylian Mbappe picked up the injury while trying to tackle Declan Rice – just days after he was sent off for a dangerous tackle against Deportivo Alaves

During Real Madrid’s 2-1 loss to Arsenal on Wednesday night, Kylian Mbappe was benched after 75 minutes, bringing his debut Champions League season to a sad end.

A’remontada’ was promised by Madrid’s team ever since the first leg ended, but Carlo Ancelotti’s team fell 5-1 on aggregate in a match at the Bernabeu.

Declan Rice’s two free-kick goals at the Emirates and Mikel Merino’s goal last week gave Arsenal a 3-0 advantage going into Wednesday’s rematch.

Mbappe then went in to tackle Rice, causing him to roll his ankle and be removed.

The Englishman was given a free kick following the accident, though, and was unharmed.

Mbappe was sent off for a horrifying high challenge on Sunday afternoon, in which he quickly stamped on an opponent’s shin. This comes only days from that incident.

For the careless challenge during the first half of his team’s La Liga match against Deportivo Alaves, the Madrid star was sent off.

After examining Antonio Blanco’s horrific tackle from several perspectives, the referee changed Mbappe’s initial yellow card to an instant expulsion.
