It is a nightmare season that will finally make its verdict on the side of Madrid. If the arrival of Kylian Mbappé last summer had obviously gave birth to many fantasies among Madrid supporters, the Frenchman could not have been the solution of all the ills of his team, too marked and too disabling to hope to compete on all the paintings.

This is how I saw it. Faced with a large team, two major teams, I have nothing to blame my team in terms of attitude and commitment. It didn't go well, but we were competitive. ” It is also this communication sometimes too detached from the real issues, which is criticized for him in Spain. Three days before the end, Real Madrid accuses 7 points behind Barça. Suffice to say that a miracle would take for the Catalans to be Spanish champions this season …
