La Liga needs to see Real Madrid pull off the signing of Kylian Mbappe from Paris Saint-Germain, says Raul Albiol, with the Spanish top-flight still counting the cost of losing Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo. Two men with 11 Ballons d'Or between them once illuminated a division stacked with world-class talent, but both are now plying their trade elsewhere - with Ronaldo back at Manchester United following three years at Juventus and&nbsp;Messi severing his career-long ties with Barcelona in order to join PSG. While two all-time greats have left opposing sides of a fierce Clasico divide, the draw of life at Santiago Bernabeu or Camp Nou remains strong and the expectation is that World Cup-winning forward Mbappe will end up in the Spanish capital at some stage. <a href="https://www.goal.com/en/news/la-liga-needs-mbappe-after-messi-ronaldo-departures-former/19jbv0ouqcxpq1atp4wb6x73q6" target="_blank">Read more here!</a>
