Two years later, Kylian Mbappé is preparing to return to Lusail Stadium. While this December 18 marks the second anniversary of the defeat of the Blues in the World Cup final against Argentina, marked by the incredible hat-trick scored by the French number 10, the Bondynois will finally compete well in the intercontinental final against the Mexicans of Pachuca.
Hit in the thigh in the Champions League against Atalanta Bergamo, the Bondynois was uncertain for a while. But the exams were quickly reassuring and Carlo Ancelotti did not hesitate to bring his star striker to Qatar. And a few hours before the match kicks off, all the lights are green for the French striker, who could win his second trophy with Real Madrid after the European Super Cup won last summer.
Kylian Mbappé associated with Vinicius and Rodrygo in attack?
“Kylian trained normally and had very good feelings, said Carlo Ancelotti on Tuesday at a press conference. He did some sprints and everything went well. If he is doing well in training and the doctors believe there is not the slightest risk, he will definitely play. Given his feelings, we are optimistic. » So much so that according to the Madrid press, Kylian Mbappé is expected to start.
The French world champion should even be aligned in the left lane of the Madrid attack, forcing Vinicius, just named best player in the world by FIFA, to occupy the axis while Rodrygo is expected to start in the right lane. In midfield, Eduardo Camavinga should support Federico Valverde and Jude Bellingham and in defense, Aurélien Tchouameni should start in the central hinge alongside Antonio Rüdiger while Fran Garcia and Lucas Vazquez should play on the sides.
