The European Super Cup in August, and the Intercontinental Cup this week. Kylian Mbappé holds “already his second trophy” with Real Madrid, as noted by Margot Dumont in Canal Football Club. But this way of presenting things was not to Bertrand Latour’s taste.
“These are wooden trophies”put the former RTL journalist into perspective. “This trophy, take a poll in the street, I think half of the people didn’t know it existed”he added.
According to Bertrand Latour, not all lines on a list have the same meaning. “If he plays two-on-two with Ethan during the holidays, yes, he will win one more trophy, he quipped. Not all trophies are equal. The Champions League is not worth that, or the World Cup. »
Bertrand Latour prefers the Champions League
Starting from this Intercontinental Cup, discussions continued on the future 32-team Club World Cup, which will be launched at the end of the season. “There weren’t enough matches, you’re right,” once again quipped Bertrand Latour, visibly not convinced by the new baby of Gianni Infantino, the president of Fifa.
“I don’t know about you, maybe you’re going to come out, but I love the new formula of the Champions League, on the other hand confided the journalist. So, at some point, we can no longer add matches all the time. Either we preserve what we have, or we take things away. I don’t want to take it off. »
