The captain of the French team concentrates all the attentions in this semi-final of the Club World Cup between Paris Saint-Germain and Real Madrid.
It was inevitable … after reunion missed in
Champions League Following the elimination of Real Madrid against Arsenal in the quarter-final, Kylian Mbappé will finally meet Paris Saint-Germain. Of course, this will not have the prestige of the Cup with the big ears, but this PSG-Real in the semi-final of the first edition of the Club World Cup will not lack salt.
Because Real has made this tournament an absolute priority to save a failed season in large widths. Because Paris Saint-Germain has the unique opportunity to make the most beautiful campaign ever seen in the 21st century. And because Kylian Mbappé will be there, of course.

The 2018 world champion knew everything during his 7 years in the capital: the idyll, the goals, the prowess, the records, the misunderstanding, the disappointments, the extension, the fracture, the stories, the bibes and the divorce in chaos. For more than a year, both parties have beenhed their laundry in the public square. The reunion is necessarily electric.
Mbappé withdrew his complaint for moral harassment
The newspaper L'Équipe dwells on the very particular context of this pre-match. With size information: the Mbappé clan
would have decided to withdraw his complaint for moral harassment. A gesture that would be part of a desire to calm the game. The dispute continues before the courts for the compensation of the player.
However, can we imagine Kylian Mbappé shake hands with his former president Nasser Al-Khelaïfi as if nothing had happened? Nothing is to be excluded in this dupe game. Still according to L'Equipe, the Qatari leader would have kept excellent contacts with Wilfrid Mbappé, the star's father. One thing is certain: the hugs between Mbappé and his friends Ousmane Dembélé or Achraf Hakimi will not be feigned.
