The upcoming announcement of the arrival of Kylian Mbappé at Real Madrid could cause shocks and discontent among Madrid players.
Six days after a disappointing performance in the first leg, Kylian Mbappé is playing his last Champions League match this Tuesday with the PSG jersey on the lawn of the Parc des Princes. And if the Bondynois, like all his teammates, hopes to show a completely different face against Borussia Dortmund and allow the capital club to qualify for the final despite its 1-0 defeat in Germany, it could be the ultimate Bondynois’ C1 match with the Rouge et Bleu.
An elimination of Luis Enrique’s men against the Ruhr club would not be without consequences in the Mbappé soap opera. It would inevitably accelerate the formalization of the announcement of the departure of the former Monegasque and probably also that of his signing for Real Madrid. A prospect which hardly enchants Madrid players, according to the specialist site Revelo.
A dilemma for the leaders of Real Madrid
Because if the Madrid locker room is satisfied with the arrival of the world champion, they do not want the announcement of his arrival to overshadow the XXL season delivered by Carlo Ancelotti’s troops. Crowned Spanish champion last weekend, the Madrid club also hopes to qualify for the Champions League final. On a favorable ballot after their draw (2-2) brought back from Bavaria last week, the Merengue intend to validate their ticket at the Bernabeu on Wednesday.
The players would like the announcement to come only after the Spanish championship title celebrations which are due to take place on May 14, or even after the Champions League final on May 1.er May, if they qualify. A premature announcement would certainly anger the Madrid locker room. Leaders are aware of this and would target three dates: June 3, 6 and 7. But Kylian Mbappé will then have already joined the French team at Clairefontaine to prepare for the Euro.
