Much of the slim hope that Real Madrid has of completing a historic comeback in the Champions League against Arsenal is pinned on Kylian Mbappé, who nearly single-handedly mounted a comeback against Argentina in the final of the 2022 World Cup held in Qatar. He was signed as the superstar who steps up in these moments, and for that reason, Real Madrid held an emergency meeting with him after the incident last weekend against Alavés. Undoubtedly, Kylian Mbappé’s red card in the first half against Alavés was the clearest example of the frustration and helplessness Real Madrid has been experiencing…
Real Madrid are reportedly mulling a shock approach for ex-Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp to replace Carlo Ancelotti this summer. Following a crushing 3-0 defeat at the hands of Arsenal in the first leg of their Champions League quarter-final tie, doubts surrounding Ancelotti’s long-term future at the Santiago Bernabeu are growing louder. Despite his current deal running until 2026, poor form in Europe and inconsistency in La Liga are beginning to weigh heavily. With just seven league fixtures remaining, Madrid sit four points behind fierce rivals Barcelona, adding fuel to speculation that a managerial change may come in the summer if…
AC Milan can count on some proceeds from the sale of Ismael Bennacer this summer, at least according to what one source is reporting. According to Sky in Switzerland, Marseille are ‘convinced by the Algerian midfielder’s talent’ and have decided to exercise the option to buy Bennacer outright at the end of his loan spell. The Ligue 1 side will thus spend €12m to make it a permanent deal for the former Empoli man. The Olympique de Marseille coaching staff are satisfied by what they have seen, with Bennacer having already accumulated up to 61% of the minutes played in…
Kyle Walker could make a shock return to Manchester City this summer, as AC Milan are increasingly unlikely to make his loan deal permanent. A report by Gazzetta dello Sport suggests Walker’s tenure at the San Siro will be limited to just this season. The England international had been expected to make the switch to Italian side at the end of his six-month loan deal, as Milan have the option to buy the full-back for €5m. After a promising start to life with the Rossinieri, Walker has struggled for form and fitness. Walker suffered a right elbow fracture during a…
Current rules of the revamped competitions mean that teams that finished in the top eight are only guaranteed to play the pivotal second legs at home in the last 16. Who would have the advantage of a home quarter-final or semi-final was decided by a random draw – with the Gunners without a home second leg for the rest of the tournament. That left Arsenal, who finished third in the 36-team Champions League table, forced to play their quarter-final second leg against European champions Real Madrid, who finished 11th, at the Bernabeu. Arsenal were dumped out of the competition in…
