Caught on camera: Asencio’s sweet gesture towards Mbappe after his substitution against Arsenal
Kylian Mbappe had a bitter end to his outing against Arsenal for Real Madrid in the 2-1 loss at the Santiago Bernabeu.
The Frenchman was not really able to get at the end of many goal-scoring chances and could not influence much in the frontline.
His night ended in the 75th minute when the forward had to be taken off by Carlo Ancelotti after sustaining an injury in the game.
He was replaced by Brahim Diaz, and had to go straight down the tunnel so that the medical staff could properly evaluate his situation.
Raul Asencio, who was substituted minutes before, decided to follow Mbappe and go away to check up on him in the dressing room.
Asencio realized that his game was already over, so he asked Lucas Vazquez to move so that he could race his way to the dressing room to give some morale support to Mbappe.
The Frnech forward will hope to make a swift recovery from his injury and recover before the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona.
