Real Madrid superstar underwent doping test after Dortmund win | OneFootball

According to a report from MARCA, it has come to light that Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe found himself in an unusual situation after his team’s 3-2 victory over Borussia Dortmund in the FIFA Club World Cup quarter-final.

The French forward had to stay behind at the venue to complete a routine doping test, which ended up taking much longer than expected.

After the match, Real Madrid’s players gradually made their way from the locker room to the team bus, ready to head back to their base camp in West Palm Beach, Miami.

Club president Florentino Perez also departed the stadium in his car. However, as everyone settled in and the bus prepared to leave, they realised one key figure was missing: Kylian Mbappe.

The forward, who had taken longer than expected to finish his doping test, was still inside the stadium nearly an hour after his teammates had gone.

When Mbappe finally emerged, he was escorted by a club staff member and whisked away in a different car, followed by up to five police vehicles for security.

The extraordinary escort highlighted both the importance of the player to the club and the level of attention he commands wherever he goes.

This unexpected incident did little to dampen the excitement of Real Madrid’s win, which booked their place in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup against Paris Saint-Germain.

Mbappe, who scored a goal in the match, will now focus on helping his team reach the final and lifting another trophy.
