Absent from the French team gathering, Kylian Mbappé remained in Madrid where he notably took part in a karting outing on Wednesday evening.
It's match day for the Blues. The French team will meet at the Stade de France this Thursday evening to face Israel and try to validate their ticket for the final phase of the Nations League. A victory will be enough for Didier Deschamps' troops. Like last month, the latter will nevertheless have to cope without their captain, Kylian Mbappé, left behind by the French coach.
In October, while the French team was in Budapest to face Israel, the Bondynois stood out with a trip to Stockholm in the company of Nordi Mukiele. A much-discussed escapade which also resulted in a complaint of rape from a young Swedish woman who allegedly participated in one of the evenings organized during the visit of the French world champion.
On Wednesday, on the eve of the reunion between the Blues and the Israelis, Kylian Mbappé once again allowed himself an outing, this time to Madrid where he remained to train with the few players who are not in the selection. As evidenced by the photos published by the former Parisian, he indeed went to a karting in the Spanish capital, owned by F1 driver Carlos Sainz Jr.
Kylian Mbappé finished third
For this karting outing, Kylian Mbappé was accompanied by several members of the Madrid staff as well as Eden Hazard, retired from the field since 2023. While he still does not have a license, the Frenchman finished third, behind Sébastien Devillaz, one of Real Madrid's French physical trainers, and the former leader of the Red Devils, with whom he exchanged a handshake on the podium.
At the start of the week, Kylian Mbappé was in Paris where he played padel with his former PSG partners Achraf Hakimi and Arnau Tenas before a game of video games with the Moroccan international. An evening which gave rise to controversy due to the presence of a hookah in a photo published by the Real striker.
