Few players of Real Madrid are escaping criticism at the moment. Sunday evening, Kylian Mbappé was even whistled when he was not even on the lawn and attended this shock against Athletic (1-0) from the stands of Bernabéu.

Especially since Eder Militão is still injured, that Antonio Rudiger is dragging knee problems and could pass on billiards, while the future of David Alaba in Madrid is uncertain. The media gives the names of Dean Huijsen (Bournemouth) and William Saliba (Arsenal) as the main candidates. Business to follow …
