The post from **@MadridXtra** (posted on January 9, 2026) is generating a lot of excitement among Real Madrid fans!


It shows **Kylian Mbappé** arriving in Saudi Arabia (Jeddah) ahead of the **Supercopa de España final** against Barcelona. The caption reads:  

"🚨 Kylian Mbappè on the way to the final. @elchiringuitotv"


The attached video (from El Chiringuito TV sources) captures Mbappé looking in good spirits as he travels, signaling his recovery from the recent left knee sprain that forced him to miss the semi-final against Atlético Madrid (which Real Madrid won 2-1 on January 8).


### Quick Context on Mbappé's Situation

- Mbappé suffered the knee injury late December 2025 / early January 2026.

- Real Madrid initially took a cautious "zero risk" approach, leaving him in Madrid for intensive rehab while the team traveled to Saudi Arabia.

- Recent updates (including from coach Xabi Alonso) show a rapid recovery — he was feeling much better and decided to join the squad for the final.


This is huge news because the **Supercopa final** is scheduled for **Sunday, January 11, 2026** (kick-off around 20:00 CET / local time in Jeddah), pitting Real Madrid against Barcelona in another high-stakes El Clásico.


Fan reactions in the replies are full of hype — many calling him the "best player in the world," saying "Barcelona is shaking," and predicting it's "over for Barca" with Mbappé back. The post has thousands of likes and views already.


Whether he'll start or come off the bench remains to be decided (final call expected after the last training sessions), but his presence alone makes this Clasico even more explosive! 🔥


Hala Madrid! 🤍
