Kylian Mbappe came off the bench, but couldn’t prevent defending champion Real Madrid from losing 1-0 at unheralded Lille in the revamped Champions League.
With Mbappe a substitute after a minor hamstring injury, the opening goal came from Canada striker Jonathan David‘s penalty deep into first-half stoppage time. A video review ruled that midfielder Eduardo Camavinga handled the ball.

David scored a hat trick last weekend and shot confidently past goalkeeper Andriy Lunin, who was replacing the injured Thibaut Courtois. Mbappe came on in the 57th minute.  It was Madrid’s first loss in the competition since a 0-4 hammering by Manchester City in the 2023 semi-final return leg.
