Kylian Mbappe Real Madrid Super Cup 2026

Mbappé, en medio de la polémica entre el club y la selección

El Real Madrid se enfrenta a un dilema respecto a la disponibilidad física de Kylian Mbappé de cara a su partido de la Liga de Campeones contra el Manchester City, ya que la selección francesa y Nike exigen su presencia para los amistosos internacionales. El campeón del mundo podría ser convocado por su selección a pesar de no haber jugado ningún partido con su club.

Mbappé le suelta una pullita a Henry llamándole «viejo»

Existe un claro vínculo entre los dos mejores delanteros franceses de sus respectivas generaciones, aunque nunca hayan tenido la oportunidad de compartir el terreno de juego. Thierry Henry, que ahora tiene 48 años, sigue siendo una fuente constante de inspiración para Kylian Mbappé, quien actualmente persigue los últimos goles que le faltan para superar a Olivier Giroud como máximo goleador histórico de los Bleus.

Exclusiva de Henry: Mbappé, criticado por sus altos estándares

Thierry Henry ha salido en defensa del delantero del Real Madrid Kylian Mbappé, insistiendo en que su compatriota francés ha sido injustamente criticado a lo largo de su carrera debido a las altas expectativas que se tienen de él. Mbappé saltó a la fama con el AS Mónaco antes de fichar por el París Saint-Germain por una cifra de nueve dígitos y ganar la Copa del Mundo con Francia como titular clave cuando aún era un adolescente. Hasta la fecha, Mbappé ha marcado 365 goles en 460 partidos con su club, además de 55 goles en 94 partidos con la selección francesa, solo superado por Olivier Giroud en la lista de máximos goleadores de todos los tiempos de Les Bleus. A pesar de todos estos logros, Mbappé nunca ha ganado la Liga de Campeones como jugador y, aunque se le augura que ganará muchos Balones de Oro en la era posterior al duopolio de Lionel Messi y Cristiano Ronaldo, aún no ha conseguido ningún Balón de Oro.

Valverde y los 20 jugadores del exclusivo club 10/10 de L'Equipe

En una plantilla del Real Madrid repleta de galácticos, Fede Valverde rara vez destaca por lo que aporta al equipo blanco, a pesar de su evidente importancia para el conjunto. Sin embargo, el miércoles acaparó toda la atención tras su impresionante hat-trick en la primera parte, que acabó con el Manchester City en la Liga de Campeones. Su actuación también le valió uno de los elogios más exclusivos: una puntuación de 10/10 por parte de L'Equipe.

Fábregas apuesta por el «animal» del Como para la convocatoria de Francia

Cesc Fábregas está convencido de que el portero del Como, Jean Butez, está listo para debutar con la selección francesa tras una serie de impresionantes actuaciones. Tras una reñida victoria por 2-1 a domicilio ante el Cagliari, el técnico español elogió a su guardameta, describiendo su ética de trabajo en términos elogiosos, mientras el Lariani continúa su improbable carrera hacia una posible plaza en la Liga de Campeones.
