Ivan Helguera, former Real Madrid legend, fears an imbalance in the team with the possible arrival of Kylian Mbappé.
Real Madrid are in pole position to sign Kylian Mbappé when his contract with Paris Saint-Germain ends this summer. His arrival would mark the start of a new era for the Spanish club. However, this prospect raises concerns, notably among the club’s former defender Ivan Helguera.
The ex-Spain international stressed the importance of balancing a team made up of many stars. “It’s wonderful to have all these players, but you have to know how to balance them with a good group. »
The big weak point
Helguera, who played alongside great figures such as Zinedine Zidane, David Beckham, Luis Figo and Ronaldo during the first era of the Galacticos, warns of the potential imbalance that could result from an accumulation of offensive talent.
“What went wrong back then?” The balance. There were a lot of players going forward and the back and forth wasn’t easy… I was a defender, it was very difficult to defend with that type of player. We need a balance between players who are going up and those who are going down,” said the winner of the 2000 and 2002 Champions League.
