The prestigious continental competition is of great importance for Saint-Germain and Real Madrid, as the latter hopes to win its 14th title and consolidate its record, while the Paris club is chasing after its first title, which was enhanced by the signing of Argentine star Lionel Messi in a free transfer deal last summer.

- Mbappe is in the fore -

and it will be the second time that the two teams meet in the price of the final after the 2017-2018 season, when Real won 3-1 in the first leg and 2-1 in the back and continued his career until he won the third title in a row and the 13th in its history led by his French coach Zinedine Zidane, before Saint-Germain recovers his consideration in the following season, but in the group stage, when he won the first leg at home 3-0 and tied the second leg 2-2.

The match has attracted the attention of European football followers two months ago, especially since the draw, due to the future of Saint-Germain international star Kilian Mbappe, who is nominated to join the "White House".

The survival of the 23-year-old has been in doubt since last summer, after he openly expressed his desire to move to Real Madrid, but he did not get his wish and remained in the team without extending his contract, which expires on June 30.

Real Madrid made an offer of 180 million euros for his services during the summer, but the French club rejected him, clinging to his hope of persuading his striker to extend.

Mbappe touched on the confrontation, saying that the Parisian club "is ready and owns the team that allows it to win," adding, "The only thing that concerns me is the victory over Real Madrid in February (home) and March (again)."

He explained that he did not feel "any regret" for revealing last summer that he wanted to move to Real, and said, "I was honest. I say what I feel... But of course I am happy to stay, to play alongside Messi and all the young men."

- "Amazing charisma" -

And his Argentine coach, Mauricio Pochettino, considered that the confrontation against Real Madrid would not have any "impact" on Mbappe's decision to stay in his ranks or not.

He said in an interview with the Spanish radio “Cadena Ser” 4 days before the match, “I do not think that a decision of this importance will be affected by a match or an exclusionary double confrontation,” adding, “He is a smart, mature young man, who has amazing charisma with a tremendous ability to analyze, he knows exactly what He wants to do with his future, he is surrounded by many people who advise him well and I am sure of that."

Mbappe will be one of the most important weapons that Saint-Germain will rely on to rehabilitate his exit from the same role at the hands of Real Madrid in 2018, especially since the world champion scored in the same year the winning goal against his guest Rennes (1-0) Friday in the local league.

Saint-Germain also hopes for Messi, the executioner of Real for many years during his time in Barcelona, ​​where he faced Meringue 44 times, winning 19 of them and losing 14 to 11 draws, and scored 26 goals, including 15 at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Real Madrid, who has great experience in the prestigious continental competition, will not be up for grabs against the Parisian club, which in turn has enough weapons to beat the price of the final, most notably the Croatian Luka Modric, German Toni Kroos and Brazilian Casemiro.

Real Madrid, in turn, restores the services of its French international striker and top scorer, Karim Benzema, after recovering from an injury that kept him out of action for three weeks, to form a striking force alongside the promising Brazilians, Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo.

Saint-Germain will also be exposed to the Italian coach of Real Madrid, Carlo Ancelotti, who was the first coach contracted by the Qatar Investment Fund when it acquired the Parisian club in 2011. Before moving to Madrid in his first term.

Real Madrid enters the confrontation after a disappointing draw against its host Villarreal in the local league, which leads by 5 points, in a match that witnessed Welsh international Gareth Bale playing his first match with the club since August after suffering various injuries.

Ancelotti touched on his participation by saying, "He suffered a serious injury. The most important thing is that today he had a chance and he showed that he is with us (mentally and physically) and that he is committed," refusing to confirm whether he would involve him against Saint-Germain.
