The match in Galicia on the Spanish west coast is the 25-year-old French star's first since his visit to Stockholm last week. A visit that has been followed by media reports that Mbappé is being investigated for rape.

The Swedish Prosecution Authority has only confirmed that there is a report of rape, but has not confirmed that it is Mbappé who is suspected in the case. Mbappé claims that he is innocent and has called the media reports "fake news".

The forward, who left Paris SG before this season, missed France's national team gathering earlier in October due to a thigh injury. It was during the club break that he visited Sweden. Saturday evening's Spanish league match is his first in two weeks, since the 2–0 win against Villarreal.

In the beginning of the second half, the former Hammarby star Williot Swedberg equalized to 1–1 with his second league goal of the season.

Mbappé's Brazilian attacking partner Vinicius Junior decided the match with his 2–1 goal in the 66th minute.
