Kylian Mbappé is still at the heart of the discussions a few hours before the shock of the Club World Cup to put PSG and Real Madrid. And not only because this semi-final between the two enemies rings the great reunions between Le Bondynois and his former club.
If the former Parisian draws attention, it is also because of the uncertainty that weighs on him. Sick on his arrival in the United States, the fault of a violent food poisoning, the tricolor world champion was on the flank throughout the group phase and had to settle for a replacement status since his return to the lawns, whether against Juventus in the round of 16 or the Borussia Dortmund in quarters.
Kylian Mbappé nevertheless reassured his state of form as evidenced by his goal registered with a magnificent acrobatic chisel in the last minutes of the meeting against the Ruhr club. But French must also deal with the state of grace of Gonzalo Garcia, the revelation of this club World Cup. The young striker is already four goals and a decisive pass in five games and also does not count his efforts in the defensive withdrawal.
Vinicius sent to the bench?
For The teamKylian Mbappé should once again start on the bench. Xavi Alonso should indeed renew his duo Vinicius-Gonzalo Garcia in attack with Jude Bellingham behind them.
But seen from Spain, the vagueness is total. If Marca leans for a tenure of Kylian Mbappé to the detriment of the young Spanish striker, AS indicates the opposite. As for the Cadena Ser, she expressed the idea that the two men could start the meeting and send … Vinicius on the bench.
The probable eleven of Real Madrid:
Courtois – Trent, Rüdiger, Tchouameni, Asencio, Fran Garcia – Valverde, Bellingham, Güler – Mbappé or Garcia, Vinicius
