The situation
The Mbappe soap opera, almost turned into an affair , has been resolved sooner than expected and in the most unexpected way. Neither the decision nor the times accompany Madrid, who longed for the signing of the French star as much strength as concentration and commitment has places in the final next Saturday. The club did not want the outcome to take place before the match against Liverpool so as not to divert the focus from the Champions League , but what no one in all of Real Madrid wanted either is that, after all the love shown to the player and all the hopes deposited in seeing him in white, he would end up surrendering to renew for PSG. There has been no reaction from the club’s environment to the signing, except for the messages that some players launched on social networks during the afternoon once the agreement that was to be announced hours later was revealed. Benzema, Modric, Rodrygo, Vinicius, Carvajal, Valverde and, after midnight, Lucas Vázquez posted on their profiles. Some, on the occasion of the end of the League, others more critical.
The details
Rodrygo simply uploaded a photo kissing the shield at the end of the 90-minute second leg against Manchester City at the Bernabeu. “Inexplicable what it is to win with this shirt,” wrote his compatriot Vinicius. “Being from Madrid is a privilege that not everyone can have,” said Valverde. “Goodbye to a unique league. How lucky it is to be from Real Madrid”, The watchword of the entity is that nothing distracts from what is truly important: the final that the Fourteenth can take to the Bernabéu museum. The times of Mbappé and Madrid differed. The game against Liverpool made him enter a desert crossing between the end of the season for PSG and Madrid . Until that match was over, the white club was not going to make (nor is it going to) any movement in the market, nor confirm the signings that will arrive (in the case of Rüdiger) nor undertake the pending renewals (Vinicius, Militao…) . That roadmap is still valid, although Madrid will have to face an uncomfortable trance this Tuesday.
