Kylian Mbappé will be a starter in the round of 16 second leg of the C1 at Santiago Bernabeu despite a big scare on Monday in training.
The Parisian striker, decisive in the first leg, will be able to judge his popularity with a public who dreams of cheering him on from next week, without being sure.
From our special correspondent in Madrid,
We counted religiously: nine questions about Kylian Mbappé in two press conferences to maintain a false suspense quickly vented.
At noon, Carlo Ancelotti, had already confirmed his presence at kick-off on Wednesday – “we are preparing the match as if he were going to play” -, and at 6 p.m., the Frenchman was frolicking like you and me on the lawn of the Bernabeu during the fifteen minutes of training open to the press, taking a look around the stands.
Always important to take precautions during an inventory, any good real estate agent will tell you.

No discomfort during training at Bernabeu
On the Spanish side, we were far from the unbridled euphoria of the day before, when the Frenchman was trampled by Idrissa Gueye's aluminum crampons and his package was almost confirmed, even though PSG feared a fracture, it's you say worry.
The gratifying news, considering the project succeeded by the artist on the outward journey, had provoked an almost obscene enthusiasm among the Madrid supporters, who all competed in creativity on the “rézo”.
The best blagounette of the lot?
A gradation on the “Madridist” feeling of the boy, who prefers to forfeit rather than displease his future employer for good.
"Mbappé is more Madridista than me"
"Mbappé is more Madriste than Gento"
"Mbappé is more Madridista than Florentino Perez"
“Mbappé is more Madridista than Santiago Bernabeu”
“Mbappé is more Madridist than the capital”
24 hours later, the mad hope of a humanitarian corridor for Dani Carvajal was well and truly gone.
On Tuesday, around the Santiago Bernabeu, the few merengue supporters picked up on the fly were naked again, trapped in their philosophical impasse.
Should we applaud our future CR7 as it threatens to finish us off with a pickaxe?
Or maybe applaud him at the composition and then whistle him after his hat-trick?
But if we whistle him, will he be offended?
And if he's upset, will he want to come?
Obviously, when it comes to answering a French journalist, there is no question of flattering the neck of Bondy's stallion or of favoring any posture of submission.
Attitude number 1?
Arrogance, by Oscar, in his thirties: “Mbappé?
It doesn't matter if he plays, the two times he came, we didn't see him.
Tomorrow will be Vinicius' first big European night, you'll see "[mouais tu fumes de la bonne]
Attitude number 2?
Wisdom, by Manuel, a little older: “Mbappé?
We will receive him as an enemy.
The opposite would make no sense and I think a player as great as him would be offended by another reception.
It will be our emblem if one day he joins us, but that day has not arrived for him or for us”.
[OK, it's validated]
Attitude number 3?
Denial, by Monica, the youngest of the lot: “If he plays, good for him.
And if he doesn't come, too bad for him.
Real Madrid will continue to be Real Madrid without Mbappé, as it continued to exist after the departure of Cristiano [a little less strong anyway, no?]
Isn't it cute, this feigned indifference, when we all know that the same people abandon what remains of their self-esteem when they return home, less frightened by the prospect of elimination on Wednesday than by the fateful publication of a press release such as “PSG is pleased to announce the extension of Kylian Mbappé until 2024”?
The air conditioning would be huge, enough to settle this dark history of global warming for a century, and there is a us full of perversity who really wants to see that, sometimes.
“Come as soon as possible to Spain, Kylian”
Do you think we're exaggerating?
You did not feel the pulse of Madrid supporters on August 31, when they understood that Paris would not let go.
We had to double the delivery of Xanax to all pharmacies in the city on an emergency basis.
The radio commentary by the very popular Manolo Lama, who melted on Mbappé's goal in the first leg, says it all about Madrid's schizophrenia of the moment: "Come Kylian, Come to Spain as soon as possible, come to Madrid as soon as possible , Let's forget the viking [Haaland]… Kylian he's a buffalo, the best player in the world, he's incomparable, he's an animal.
»
Will he really come to Madrid?
The unexpected hatching of Vinicius has made it possible to lower the temperature a little, but each signal on the future of the tricolor world champion is watched, interpreted, triturated in all directions, in a serial delirium even more tiring in Spain than in Spain. in France.
Thus, poor Pochettino, yet a doctoral student in wooden language, put a record in the jukebox on Tuesday when asked if he thought Kyky was the best player in the world, and he answered straight away. “the best is Messi, Kylian is one of the aspirants”.
We thought that our Iberian colleagues were going to start a dance of joy in secret: “You saw you saw, he says that Messi is better than him, he will come for sure”.
A bitch.
All signals are dissected by local media
The Madrid socios had already hugged when they heard Mbappé speak Spanish after his demonstration of the first leg.
“You have seen this accent, it is sure he has already signed”.
This is to forget a little too quickly that the person concerned lives daily in a very Spanish-speaking locker room, that he also masters English without being sent to City every morning, and that if we want to be fussy, he There was a wagonload of grammatical errors in Kyky's response that would make a college-level Spanish teacher jump.
Then, these same socios became disillusioned when they heard Jérôme Rothen explain on RMC that PSG now had a 35% chance of extending it, compared to 0 at the end of summer 2021. In the role play instituted by the Madrid press , who is worth what he is worth, the former international is described as the unofficial voice of the clan, while Delphine Verheyden, the lawyer, is the one who would push his client to join the biggest club in the world in the universe.
And since it always takes a villain to make a good series, it is the mother Fayza who must bail out, accused of raising the stakes with PSG in a shallot race that Real cannot follow.
"It's up to him to decide if he wants to play in the best club in history"
In this sense, the last astronomical extension offer put forward by
Le Parisien
, and immediately denied by Leonardo, almost calmed down in Spain, where we are reassured by saying that Real is so big that Kylian will pay to play there if necessary: "It's up to him to decide if he wants to play for a club ruled by gas and oil or if he wants to evolve in the best club in history and in the best stadium in the world.
But I have no doubts.
I think money doesn't matter to Mbappé and he wants to fulfill his dream by playing for Real Madrid, ”assures Aaron, as if he had read it in the Gospel.
Admirable certainty, really.
That said, it's true that this new Bernabeu makes you want.
A little technological gem, it seems.
Surely there will be a way to play Mbappé in a hologram, at worst.
