Marseille boss Roberto De Zerbi has told star forward Mason Greenwood how to become a "great top player" like Ousmane Dembele and Kylian Mbappe. The Italian has been singing the praises of the ex-Manchester United man but he also wants more from him ahead of facing Real Madrid in the Champions League.
Kylian Mbappe has climbed another rung on French football’s ladder of greatness as the Real Madrid sensation etched his name above Thierry Henry by netting his 52nd international goal, becoming France’s second-highest scorer of all time. Only Olivier Giroud now stands between him and the ultimate record.
France sealed a 2-0 victory over Ukraine but Didier Deschamps left the pitch with a bitter taste as the Ballon D'Or frontrunner, Ousmane Dembele, hobbled off with a hamstring injury. However, the winger's setback paved the way for Liverpool's Hugo Ekitike to make his international debut in Wraclow.
Jules Kounde heaped praise on his national team captain Kylian Mbappe, stating that leadership is a quality that comes to the Real Madrid man naturally.
Mauricio Pochettino has claimed that Kylian Mbappe's "eyes shone" for Real Madrid throughout his tenure as Paris Saint-Germain coach. The Argentine was in the Parc des Princes dugout when Madrid first approached the Ligue 1 giants over a transfer for Mbappe in 2022, although PSG rejected their offer at that time.
