JAKARTA - Real Madrid included Kylian Mbappe in the core line-up for the second leg of the Champions League last 16 against Atletico Madrid, Thursday, March 13, 2025, at 03.00 WIB.
Previously, there were doubts about the striker's fitness. Mbappe missed training with his colleagues on Tuesday, March 11, 2025 after suffering an injury when Real Madrid won 2-1 over Rayo Vallecano in La Liga on Sunday, March 9, 2025.
Manager Carlo Ancelotti always hopes that Mbappe can start the important game.
Mbappe uploaded a picture of himself practicing at the Valdebebasil training ground, Madrid, on Wednesday, March 12, 202, afternoon local time.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid beat Atletico Madrid 2-1 in the first leg in Bernabeu last week. Brahim Diaz scored the winning goal after Rodrygo put the home team ahead before Julian Alvarez equalized for Atletico.
Mbappe's unconvincing appearance in the first leg drew a number of criticisms, which were defended by his teammate Aurelien Tchouameni.
"It was great to talk about difficult days for him, when he hasn't scored in two games."
"Kylian doesn't need advice, he has scored a lot of goals and he will score a lot of goals," said Tchouameni.
Mbappe's season peak has so far been in the playoffs for the knockout stages of the Champions League, when he scored three goals against Manchester City at Bernabeu.
The France international also scored against Rayo Vallecano last weekend so he has scored 29 goals in all competitions this season.
