Kylian Mbappe's return to the pitch was marred by boos from sections of the Santiago Bernabeu crowd during Real Madrid's 2-0 victory over Real Oviedo in LaLiga. The French striker, who was sidelined due to a hamstring injury, came on as a substitute in the 69th minute but was met with jeers instead of cheers. This reaction stemmed from his absence during a critical El Clasico match against Barcelona, which Madrid lost, confirming Barcelona as champions. Reports of fan dissatisfaction were fueled by Mbappe's trip to Sardinia during his recovery. After the match, Mbappe revealed that coach Alvaro Arbeloa had classified him as the fourth forward in the squad, behind Mastantuono, Vinicius, and Gonzalo. Despite his benching, Mbappe contributed to the game by assisting Jude Bellingham for Madrid's second goal. He defended his recovery trip, stating he had the club's authorization and expressed confusion over the fans' reactions. Arbeloa later clarified that he did not mean to imply Mbappe's position was permanent and emphasized the need for caution regarding his fitness.
