In about a month, the 2026 Ballon d'Or will be awarded. The way favourites such as Lamine Yamal and Kylian Mbappe are currently putting themselves in position is highly embarrassing. A commentary.
Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe has hit back at claims that he is merely a goalscorer who fails to lift his team to collective silverware. Speaking after a top-scoring campaign ended without trophies, the France captain insisted he remains open to constructive criticism despite the noise.
Kylian Mbappe has opened up on the extraordinary decade-long pursuit by Florentino Perez that finally saw him land his dream move to Real Madrid. The French superstar, who completed his blockbuster transfer to the Spanish capital after years of intense speculation, has credited the Blancos president for his unwavering persistence and belief.
Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has scheduled an emergency institutional visit to Ceuta this Friday following a wave of public backlash. The move comes after high-profile stars Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe were accused of disrespecting the Spanish autonomous city during pre-match warm-ups.
Real Madrid star Vinicius Junior has issued a frank self-assessment of his recent performances as the Brazilian finds his place in the starting XI under unexpected scrutiny. Despite his long-standing status as a talisman at the Santiago Bernabeu, a dip in productivity has coincided with the blistering form of his teammates.
