Real Madrid revived a bit early Saturday afternoon, winning 4-0 against Osasuna. A match unfortunately marked by physical problems, with the serious injury of Éder Militão and the muscular injuries of Rodrygo and Lucas Vazquez, but also by the new very mixed performance of Kylian Mbappé. A fourth game in a row without scoring for the Bondynois, and a rather average contribution to the game.

In the other big media in the Spanish capital, MarcaMbappé is also volleyed. “Mbappé is going through an unprecedented crisis”explains the media. “Mbappé drowns as number 9, while Vinicius has fun on the left. There is no doubt, he is the leader of the team. Not Mbappé ». The media also highlights the fact that when the final whistle blew, the Bondynois went directly to the locker room, a sign of a certain frustration and great dissatisfaction with his performances. Suffice it to say that this international break does not come at the best of times for Mbappé…
