Tranquility at Real Madrid after the medical tests that Kylian Mbappé underwent throughout this Saturday at the Valdebebas sports city. The white club has announced that the French forward is suffering from a "hyperextension of the posterior capsule of the left knee," but has not wanted to give a specific recovery timeline. The Madrid entity has limited itself to saying that he is "pending evolution," although various media outlets suggest he would only be out for two weeks.

Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior and Ibrahima Konaté have ended up complicating the Ceuta crisis even further. The three Real Madrid players had a “gesture towards the immigrants who lost their lives and who live in very harsh conditions,” as explained by Mbappé, the only one of the three who, for now, has commented on the act of rolling up their shirts in support of Ceuta before the match against Elche. Although he also expressed his solidarity with the people of Ceuta, Mbappé said that he “did not want to prioritize suffering.” The great star of the white team, who has Algerian-Cameroonian roots and grew up in the suburbs of Paris, maintains a stance diametrically opposed to that of the Spanish nationalism of which his club is the greatest exponent, since he shows solidarity with immigrants, both dead and alive, to the same extent as with the people of Ceuta. In any case, he does not seem to regret his gesture, despite the avalanche of adverse reactions it has generated.

Just as last weekend in Spain right-wing people were in favor of Madrid and Formula 1 and left-wingers against it, now the same thing has happened again with the gesture of the Real Madrid stars who did not want to wear the solidarity shirt with Ceuta. While the right-wing press is crucifying them and practically demanding their public stoning, the progressive press has come to the players' rescue. The newspaper El País publishes this Friday an editorial sympathetic to at least one of the players involved, Kylian Mbappé, who is also the only one who has given explanations, in this case to the newspaper As, which, oh surprise, also belongs to the Prisa group. The most curious thing is that when this newspaper published the full interview with the player, it omitted this part.

The eternal Spain is furious with two Real Madrid stars who have refused to support the good heart of the Valencian Association of Entrepreneurs (they have their website in Spanish), which apparently is very worried about Ceuta.

The controversy involving Vinícius, Mbappé, and Konaté has put the focus on the "Todos somos caballas" campaign. The three Real Madrid players hid the slogan on the shirt before the match against Elche, while other teams, such as Villarreal, Betis, Elche, and Levante, did wear it. Barça, on the other hand, did not wear it in the match against the Granota side.

Today is a day when culers, and anti-Madridistas in general, can sit back and eat popcorn while the White House implodes. The refusal of Mbappé, Vinícius, and Konaté to wear a solidarity shirt with Ceuta before the match against Elche has sparked an authentic pitched battle on social media and has fractured Madridismo into two irreconcilable camps. On one hand, there are those who consider these three players traitors to Spain and to the values of the club that pays them, and who, therefore, must be expelled from Real Madrid. And then there are those who consider that politics and sports should not be mixed and downplay it. What is happening? Well, the former are the ones who identify most with the stances of the PP and Vox, and accuse the latter (and the players themselves) of playing into Pedro Sánchez's hands. This is how, for example, Zabala de la Serna writes in El Mundo.

Trouble is brewing at Real Madrid. José Mourinho will have to put out another fire burning around his two big stars, Vinícius and Kylian Mbappé, who during the pre-match between Elche and Real Madrid did not want to show the support shirt for Ceuta that the footballers of both teams were wearing. The Frenchman and the Brazilian wore it rolled up almost to their chests, so that the slogan "Todos somos caballas" was cut off. Furthermore, they took off the shirt before the protocol greeting with the Elche players, while the rest of the footballers from both teams kept it on until after the greeting. The Frenchman Konaté also did not want to wear it. Sources from the white club state that they will not be reprimanded for anything, as a dressing room with different sensitivities is respected, but many fans and journalists who follow the white club have already criticized them. Also some politicians, such as those from Vox, who have branded them as "three millionaires who live in Spain" but do not respect it. The PP spokesperson in Congress, Ester Muñoz, stated: "I think it is a humanitarian issue and they will have to explain why they did what they did. Honestly, it made me feel quite embarrassed, but perhaps it didn't for them".

Tragic night for Real Madrid at Betis' stadium, where they suffered their first defeat of the season. In a very heated match, Mbappé missed a penalty in the final seconds that the Madrid supporters demanded be retaken because a local player had allegedly entered the area (1-0). The Frenchman did not have his day, as in the first half he would miss an opportunity almost at an empty goal, and when he could have avoided defeat, he would run into a great Álvaro Vallés on the penalty kick.

One of the most photographed couples this summer is the one formed by footballer Kylian Mbappé and actress Ester Expósito. After visiting Paris and Sardinia, the couple continues their vacation in Barcelona. Mbappé and Expósito were seen this Tuesday making a private visit to the Sagrada Família. The exclusive was given by the tourist guide company KaurTours in a publication on their Instagram. “You think it's going to be a normal workday… until you see Mbappé and Ester Expósito entering the Sagrada Família for a private tour,” writes the agency with a video of the couple observing the Passion facade.

Four goals in the first half and six in the second. Ten in total. The match for third and fourth place in the 2026 World Cup was chaotic, more like an exhibition match than a tournament that is supposed to be the highest expression of football on the planet. Because England went into the break winning no less than 0-4, but at times in the second half it seemed they could lose to a reborn France. In the end, the English ended up winning 4-6.

Football historians recall that Real Madrid truly became great in the 1950s thanks to the European Cup. That newly created tournament became successful at a time when the Old Continent was still rebuilding after the Second World War. It was also a time when the Spanish national team was better known for its failures than for its successes — with the exception of the '64 Eurocup, held precisely in Spain—. So it suited the Franco regime well that the Madrid club, winner of the first five editions, became an ambassador for the country internationally. It was still a winning team that, in the domestic competition of the First Division, would also rack up League titles.

Shortly after Tuesday lunchtime, many Madrid journalists received news of an impromptu press conference by Florentino Pérez. More than one thought it would be to dismiss Álvaro Arbeloa and others thought he might be considering stepping down, as he had done the first time he had gone two seasons without titles, in 2006. But within minutes, club sources were already informing them they were quite mistaken. Quite the opposite: Pérez would go on the offensive and many of those journalists would be publicly attacked. The white president will call elections to make it clear who is in charge, but the move could end up being a shot in the foot, as on this occasion there is indeed a member ready to confront him. Madridismo is living through key days.

Kylian Mbappé has suffered a series of physical ailments this season, forcing him to miss important matches. After a period of absence and a gradual return, his knee injury has once again put the spotlight on Real Madrid's medical management. In fact, according to French journalist Daniel Riolo, the club's medical staff may have made an error in the initial diagnosis of the player's injury, delaying his recovery by analyzing images of his right knee when the injury was actually in his left.

Days of rumors on social media have ended up confirming an even more unexpected couple: that of Real Madrid footballer Kylian Mbappé and actress Ester Expósito. They have been seen together in Paris, where Fashion Week was being celebrated, and where they have found it impossible to go unnoticed, as reported by gossip magazines. After a romantic getaway, they have returned to Madrid together on a private jet.

"Reality check," is the headline given by several media outlets following the news from the Whites. This is the feeling in Madrid after losing 4-0 to Luis Enrique's PSG.. Xabi Alonso, who in a few weeks had managed to establish himself as the savior, was harshly criticized by the Spanish press after a thrashing that leaves them without a chance of playing in the Club World Cup final, which will be played between Chelsea and PSG.

Nothing is going as expected for Kylian Mbappé in 2025. The French striker left Paris thinking he could win it all in Madrid, but the adventure, which started well with the European Super Cup and the Intercontinental Cup in 2024, has given way to a 2025 in which nothing is going his way. annus horribilis In which, despite being Real Madrid's top scorer, he has seen his dream of winning the Champions League for the first time, a tournament he has never won at the age of 26, fade away. Now he needs to win the Copa del Rey in a match that is doubtful due to the ankle injury he suffered in his team's defeat to Arsenal in Europe.

Let me say, to begin with, that I don't believe in refereeing conspiracies. Although they sell a lot and generate a stir in the spindle that Elon Musk has turned the old Twitter into, feeding them without conclusive evidence is hardly constructive. Referees make mistakes like the rest of the humans who are part of this circus called football, and until proven otherwise, I will refuse to claim that their rulings are deliberately in favor of certain interests. But be careful, there are nuances. Not believing in black hands is compatible with considering it a shame that Kylian Mbappé, the shining star of Real Madrid, has been suspended for just one game after his chilling entrance into the Alavés field.

Real Madrid played their 31st La Liga match this Sunday at Alavés. But beyond the scoreline (0-1 in favor of Real Madrid), the star of the match had to leave the Mendizorrotza pitch early. We're talking about Kylian Mbappé, who was sent off after recklessly tackling Antonio Blanco, the Vitoria-Bissau's central midfielder, in the 38th minute.

Real Madrid, who play the second leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie against Atlético Madrid this Wednesday with a minimal advantage from the first leg (9 p.m.), have presented their profit and loss accounts for the period from July 1 to December 31 of last year. A month before this period, the club formalized the signing of Kylian Mbappé. According to the report, the high-profile acquisition of the Frenchman as a free agent meant Madrid spent significant bonuses and salaries to secure the former Paris Saint-Germain striker.
