Mbappé sustained the injury during Real Madrid's match against Arsenal in the UEFA Champions League quarterfinals, and this injury has noticeably affected his physical condition recently.

Spanish newspaper "AS" reported that Mbappé is still experiencing recurring pain at the site of his injury, which has cast doubt on his participation in the big Clasico match. The paper added that the player was unable to complete the full training session held by the team last Thursday, as he withdrew shortly after it started due to discomfort.

Reports also indicated that Real Madrid's medical team, in collaboration with the coaching staff, has decided to handle Mbappé's injury with extreme caution to avoid exacerbating the problem and losing him for a longer period.

According to sources, Mbappé took part in only a small portion of the team's final training session on Friday, but his attempt to integrate with the group was unsuccessful as he felt pain that forced him to stop.

On his part, Italian coach Carlo Ancelotti is handling Mbappé's situation calmly, as he decided to delay the final decision about his participation until the last moments before the match starts.

Sources confirmed that Ancelotti is considering several possible scenarios for facing Barcelona, whether by starting Mbappé if his condition improves or relying on attacking substitutes like Rodrygo or Vinícius Júnior in an advanced position to replace him.

If Mbappé misses the match, it would be a significant blow to Real Madrid's hopes of winning the cup, considering the crucial role the French star plays in leading the attack, both in creating opportunities and scoring goals.

Mbappé has been one of the most influential players in Real Madrid’s lineup this season, having scored decisive goals in major matches, making him a key figure for the team.

Real Madrid fans are concerned about the scenario of Mbappé's absence, especially since the match against their traditional rival Barcelona requires full readiness from all players, given the fierce competition for titles this season.

On the other hand, Barcelona appears well-prepared for the match, as they will play with their full attacking and defensive strength, supported by a strong morale after achieving a series of positive results both domestically and in Europe.

The atmosphere leading up to the match is filled with wide anticipation from fans, with heavy media coverage expected for the anticipated Clasico, which is expected to be one of the strongest in recent years.

Ancelotti is likely to prepare additional attacking alternatives, such as bringing in Brahim Díaz or José Lu in case the match circumstances require it to compensate for the attacking void if Mbappé is absent.

Meanwhile, the medical report from Real Madrid's medical staff confirmed that Mbappé's injury is not serious but requires rest and no further strain, indicating that risking his participation could worsen the injury significantly.

Fans of Spanish and global football are eagerly awaiting the official announcement of both teams’ starting line-ups shortly before the match, to determine whether Mbappé will participate in the final.

Real Madrid fans hope to see a noticeable improvement in their star's condition in the next few hours, so he can lead the team to win the prestigious cup.

In the event of Mbappé's absence, Real Madrid is expected to rely on the quick movements of Vinícius Júnior and Rodrygo, with a more prominent attacking role for Englishman Jude Bellingham.

On the other hand, Barcelona is expected to rely on the strength of their midfield led by Pedri and Gavi, along with Robert Lewandowski's decisive runs in attack.

The final between Real Madrid and Barcelona will take place in a fiery atmosphere, both on and off the field, given the historical rivalry between the two clubs, which makes every encounter unique and not subject to any logical calculations.

The streets of the city hosting the final are decorated with flags and banners of both clubs, reflecting the importance of the match to the fans of both teams.
