A suspension of a match for a violent gesture, an elimination without glory from the quarter -finals of the Champions League after a performance without glory, an exit on injury and the relegation in National 1 of the Stade Malherbe de Caen: this week was a ordeal for Kylian Mbappé.

While the specter of a season without a major title hovers in the sky of Madrid, the captain of the Blues is eagerly awaited in this last straight line. Two objectives were set: the King's Cup (with a final against the Barcelona rival) and the Liga, where Barça is still in front.
