At the heart of a season where hot and cold are blowing, Real Madrid will try to fill their trophy cabinet a little more. This remains its reason for being. And that’s good, since the White House can afford a new Intercontinental Cup if it manages to tame the Mexican club Pachuca this Wednesday (kick-off at 6 p.m.).
“ It’s important to have this intercontinental event to determine who was the best in 2024explained Thibaut. It’s a great thing and, of course, with the schedule it’s not always easy to organize these matches, but we are all excited to play this match, to play this final, because it means we won the Champions League last season, and that’s always gratifying. It’s a reward for the hard work done during the previous season.”
Distrust is in order for the Belgian goalkeeper. “It’s always different, their style of play is sometimes the antithesis of European football. Sometimes the intensity changes, sometimes they are more physical, the determination or tactics change. That’s why it’s always nice to play these matches. I think it will be a great finale. »An event in which Kylian Mbappé should take part, after returning to the group. The stage is set.
