While football is no longer at the heart of the discussions, after Real Madrid confirmed its presence against Barcelona for the King's Cup final, Carlo Ancelotti must find a solution to beat Barcelona. Doubts hover over the composition of Real Madrid, starting with Kylian Mbappé.
On Friday, it was announced that Ferland Mendy would be holder at the left -back post, which leaves Carlo Ancelotti with a major doubt about his composition. It is a question of knowing if he will use 4-4-2 that he admitted to favor earlier in the week, and if he will include Rodrygo Goes, who seems most likely to be sacrificed if Ancelotti wishes to strengthen his midfielder.
However, according to Diario As and MD, among others, Rodrygo could in any case have its place in the composition. Mbappé has been treating an ankle injury since last week against Arsenal and, although he resumed training on Tuesday, he is not yet completely restored. We expected it to be ready for the final this Saturday evening, as is the case for Mendy, but Mbappé still feels pain in the ankle and will take a test before the match before making a decision.

If Mbappé does not hold, Rodrygo will replace him, alongside Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham, in a 4-4-2. But Ancelotti intends to use it.

If it is missing, the Merengues would lose their top scorer of the season and their main threat behind the High Barcelona line.
Although Mbappé lacked finesse during the first clasico against Barcelona at the Santiago Bernabéu, the French striker was their best player in the final of the Spanish Supercoupe in Saudi Arabia. During the second match, he scored and only many Iñaki Pena parades prevented the Real from adding a goal to his counter.
