Following the elimination of Real Madrid in the Champions League on Wednesday against Arsenal, the Spanish press did not take off and found its scapegoat in the person of Kylian Mbappé.
The Madrid press does not digest the pitiful elimination of Real on Wednesday evening against Arsenal in the Champions League (1-2), during the return match to Santiago Bernabéu, won – as in the first leg (3-0) – by the Gunners. The Merengues, title holders, ousted with “their” competition, have disappointed, since the start of the season, a completely different face than that of the past year. At the end of the White House setback, the media of the Iberian capital, in turmoil, ask for accounts and draw the first balance sheets from this 2024/25 exercise of Real. And the least we can say is that the latter have found their Turkish head, which is none other than Kylian Mbappé.

In order to “be forgiven”, the n ° 9 of the Merengues will have the opportunity to be decisive on Saturday, in the final of the King's Cup, against FC Barcelona. Balayed twice this season, already, by the Catalans, the teammates of Jude Bellingham will have to deliver a major performance in order to avoid the specter of a title without title, already bleak and gloomy.
