But the news was elsewhere for the Madrid club. Consequence of the revelations during the day from Cadena Ser which in fact announced that the leaders of Real had given up recruiting Kylian Mbappé. Consequence in particular of its financial requirements.

Unsurprisingly, Carlo Ancelotti couldn’t escape a question on the subject after the match. But the Italian coach did not wish to answer it. “If I validate this decision? I won’t answer, sorry”, he said to kick in touch.
