Next Saturday, Real Madrid will compete in an explosive cup final against Barça. But uncertainty remains around his number one offensive weapon. Kylian Mbappé, author of 33 goals in 50 games this season, had worried Merengues supporters after his premature release against Arsenal. That day, he collapsed while holding his right ankle, after a tackle tempted on Declan Rice. Since then, anxiety has hovered about its participation in the big meeting.
Good news: Unless the drama, Kylian Mbappé will be fit for the King Cup final in Seville. According to the latest information from the Madrid locker room, the French international is about to resume collective training and ultimately only suffers from a slight sprain. Carlo Ancelotti, interviewed at a press conference, was reassuring:
“I think Mbappé and Mendy will be ready for the final against Barça. »»
Mbappé on the way of healing.
This potential tenure is timely after a series of twists and turns. Suspended in the league for a dangerous gesture against Alavés, whistled by a part of the Bernabéu, injured against Arsenal … The Bondynois saw a trying end of the season. However, despite the criticisms, there remains the spearhead of the Madrid attack.
Mbappé should well be there
The context adds chili. Faced with a barça inflated with a block and in search of a hat -trick, Real will count on Mbappé to make the difference. Its speed, its impact in major meetings, and its desire to prove after the controversies could weigh heavy. Ancelotti knows that he can count on him in key moments.
Mbappé, except for time, will respond. A Real-Barça final cannot be refused. It remains to be seen whether this match will serve as a redemption or a new source of debate around the French striker. Imminent verdict.
