Real Madrid lost their footing last weekend, losing to Mallorca (2-1), while FC Barcelona won the clash against Atlético. The race for the La Liga title may now be over, and only the Champions League remains for Kylian Mbappé and his partners to avoid another season without a major trophy.
Real will therefore play very big during this double confrontation against Bayern Munich, while waiting for a possible semi-final against PSG or Liverpool. The Merengues will challenge the best attack in Europe, led by Harry Kane, Michael Olise and Luis Diaz. They will also come across a well-prepared defense to face Mbappé and Vinicius.

“He is a player who has a lot of qualities. He is very fast, he has good technique, and he is ruthless in front of goal. But no player is perfect, no matter how good they are, everyone has weaknesses. So I’m going to look at the matches where he may have had problems with his direct opponent and analyze why. I note the context and the solutions, then I try to put them into practice. This is exactly what you do with a team as a whole. » To see what this will look like on the ground…
