Lamine Yamal makes Barça tremble, Kylian Mbappé is destroyed again in Spain

The absence of Lamine Yamal raises questions

Sport focuses attention on Lamine Yamal, the great absentee of the evening. No paradise without Lamine, proof that without its nugget Barça is less efficient offensively. The Spanish international is injured in the ankle and he could miss the rally with his selection, at least that is what Hansi Flick hopes who does not want to aggravate his player's injury. The Catalan club was undermined by injuries last season, this year again Barcelona has quite a few absentees so there is no risk to take. In the stands last night, Lamine Yamal took his troubles patiently. And he may do so until he is fully recovered.

Kylian Mbappé heavily criticized by the Spanish press

While waiting to buy a defender, the Kylian Mbappé case is still being talked about. Mark evokes the pressure of zero, the Frenchman has not scored in four matches and his level of play is worrying. Besides AS made the comparison with Vinicius and it is not at all rewarding for the former PSG. The Brazilian, who scored a hat-trick last Saturday, once again showed that he was the offensive leader of his team. Even the Catalan press is talking about Mbappé struggling, proof that the Blues captain's discomfort goes far beyond the borders of Madrid. Very far from his statistics with Paris, the captain of the Blues will try to regain confidence during this international break where he will remain in Spain.

A prominent defender for Real Madrid

With devastation of injuries in defense, Carlo Ancelotti needs reinforcements reveals Mark. It will not be Sergio Ramos as the Madrid daily explains even if the former captain of the White House had offered his services, the tracks are called Aymeric Laporte, Jonathan Tah or even Castello Lukeba. The Spanish international is the priority but Al Nassr is greedy so Real will have to pay the price to repatriate him from Saudi Arabia. For Lukeba, it will be necessary to convince RB Leipzig to let their nugget go, especially since they have just extended their contract until 2029. But like Dani Olmo last summer, Leipzig knows how to be ready to negotiate.
