Real Madrid's victory over Atalanta was the biggest joy for the Meringues in the Champions League. They breathe relieved for what it means in terms of the standings, improving positions. However, Vinícius and Mbappé have Madrid fans worried.

The absences are hitting Real Madrid hard, as they arrived in Bergamo with the infirmary full. Camavinga, Mendy, Carvajal, Alaba and Militão are still on the sidelines. And to top it all off, Vinícius and Mbappé left the Atalanta stadium limping and their condition worries.

Kylian scored the 0-1 and it seemed like it was his big night, but a few minutes later everything went wrong. He ended up throwing himself to the ground and asking to be substituted, only to leave the field injured. We will have to wait for the tests, but his presence in the Intercontinental is in danger.

Vini, meanwhile,  came back from injury and did so in short time to be in such an important game. He played 90 minutes and, like the Frenchman, was seen leaving Bergamo limping. The fact that he reappeared so soon and was seen like that also leaves Madrid fans waiting for the Brazilian.

A calendar that gives Real Madrid no respite in December

Real Madrid are facing a Decemberschedule that is not giving them any respite. In addition to the usual league commitments, they have to add the early game against Athletic. They also had to play the aforementioned Champions League match against Atalanta, which was a final.

But there are still important commitments before they can go on Christmas break. This Saturday against Rayo Vallecano and on the 22nd against Sevilla are the league matches they have to win to put pressure on Barça. In addition, on the 18th they play the final of the Intercontinental Cup.

We will see what Mbappé definitely has that threatens his presence in the second title of the season. On the other hand, we will have to see what condition Vinícius is after the hard work. Especially if we take into account that Rodrygo was not in the match against Girona due to muscular discomfort.
