Real Madrid's French superstar Kylian Mbappe to miss Madrid derby clash due to a thigh injury

Atletico Madrid will take on Real Madrid in Sunday's Spanish LaLiga derby.

Carlo Ancelotti's Los Merengues aim to extend their unbeaten run in 39 games, and they are also undefeated in their last 50 matches across both La Liga and the Champions League combined.

LaLiga's longest unbeaten run record of 43 games is held by Barcelona, which included Lionel Messi, Luis Suarez, and Neymar Jr. (nicknamed MSN), between April 2017 and May 2018.

The biggest obstacle to extending the run is French superstar Kylian Mbappe's thigh injury, which will cause him to miss the upcoming duel.

Real Madrid's Eduardo Camavinga, Brahim Diaz and David Alaba will also be unable to play due to their injuries.

Diego Simeone helmed Atletico Madrid's only doubtful player is young midfielder Pablo Barrios, who is suffering from a muscle tear.

Neither side has lost a single LaLiga game in the 2024-25 season, but Real Madrid couldn't beat Atletico in either match last season, as the first ended in a 3-1 defeat and the second in a 1-1 draw.

Real Madrid have 91 wins, while Atletico have 41 wins, and 42 clashes ended with draws in 174 Madrid derbies in LaLiga.
