Kylian Mbappé Gets Bad News From Pundit Ahead of Real Madrid-PSG Semifinal

With PSG facing Real Madrid, many are asking whether Kylian Mbappé will start this match against his former club. Despite the motivation he will have to face the Parisians, Cadena SER’s Álvaro Benito says that Mbappé should be coming off the bench, which he’s done during this Club World Cup.

“The most likely scenario is that Gonzalo will continue for now. I think Mbappé is going through a process of getting minutes and building up fitness,” Benito said regarding Xabi Alonso’s potential decision about Real Madrid’s center forward (h/t Cadena SER). “Gonzalo is doing wonderfully, so why not consider giving him continuity.”

It will be interesting to see if Xabi Alonso continues with the formula that has worked for him at the Club World Cup or understands the magnitude of this match and allows Mbappé to start.
