Kylian Mbappe has sparked speculation over Real Madrid's next manager after liking a post linking Jose Mourinho with a return to the Bernabeu. The "Special One" is being touted as a potential successor to Alvaro Arbeloa.

Real Madrid bounced back from their four-match winless run and kept their slim title hopes in La Liga alive with a 2-1 victory over Alaves on Tuesday. Goals from Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr got the job done for Alvaro Arbeloa's side, who closed the gap on leaders Barcelona to six points for at least the next 24 hours.

Sergio Aguero has heaped massive praise on Lamine Yamal, sensationally claiming that the Barcelona sensation is already performing at a level that puts him above almost every other player in world football with the exception of a certain superstar. The Manchester City and Blaugrana legend also believes the teenager possesses a rare talent that has not been seen at Camp Nou since the departure of eight-time Ballon d'Or winner Lionel Messi.

Emmanuel Petit has launched a scathing attack on Kylian Mbappe, claiming the forward has infected the Real Madrid dressing room with "selfishness". The former Arsenal and Chelsea star believes the Frenchman's arrival has disrupted the team's harmony following their shock Champions League exit.

The takeover of SM Caen by Kylian Mbappe was supposed to signal a new dawn for the Normandy club, but the reality has been far bleaker. Fayza Lamari, mother of the Real Madrid and France superstar, has issued a blunt assessment of the current campaign. With the club languishing in the middle of the National table, the family's investment is facing its first major crisis on the pitch.
