February 2026
Real Madrid released an injury note on Mbappe before the Champions League playoff trip to Benfica, after he was an unused substitute versus Real Sociedad. The provided text does not include the medical conclusion, so his match availability is unclear here. The tie renews a recent Lisbon meeting that Benfica won 4-2, with Mbappe scoring both Real Madrid goals, including a late Trubin header that flipped the standings. Madrid play in Lisbon Tuesday and host the return leg next week, making fitness decisions urgent.
