The new season has not yet started
Classic has already taken place between FC Barcelona and Real Madrid. Expatriated to the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey, as part of the American preparation tour of the two teams, this friendly match played on the night of Saturday to Sunday was won by the Blaugrana (2-1), thanks to Pau Victor’s double. A new face of Barça who knew how to shine, while another, on the Madrid side, was not present. To the great displeasure of the pro-Real press.
Presented a few weeks ago at the Santiago Bernabeu, Kylian Mbappé then went on vacation. The Bondy player is preparing for his part, with the aim of being operational for the European Super Cup scheduled for August 14 against Atalanta Bergamo. And for the journalists who support Madrid, the defeat against Barça ultimately did not really matter since Mbappé was not there. For them, everything will change when Carlo Ancelotti can finally count on him and include him in his starting eleven.
Everything will change
The analysis was also carried out by Planet Real Madrid who assured that ” The club does not really give importance to this defeat, in particular because of the absence of Mbappé ” Anyway, and as noted Foot Mercato In their press review of the day, almost all pro-Real media outlets talk more about the absence of Kylian Mbappé than the rest, when analyzing this defeat against Barça. The former PSG player would thus be the ideal antidote to the shortcomings displayed during this friendly match.
The starting line-ups were in any case largely remodeled compared to what they will be at the official start of the new season. Thus, Vinicius Junior only entered the field after the hour mark, while his compatriot Endrick, a nugget who had just arrived in Madrid, started. In a few weeks, the face of Real’s attack will be very different. In any case, the pro-Merengue media only have the name of Kylian Mbappé at the end of their pens, keyboards or microphones. A sort of call for help filled with impatience.
