French striker Kylian Mbappé will join the Real Madrid delegation heading to Manchester on Monday to prepare for the match against Manchester City next Tuesday (12:00 PM UAE time) at the 'United' stadium in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League round of 16. The newspaper reports that Mbappé will not just be accompanying the team but insists on being available to play against the team managed by Pep Guardiola, or at least placing himself at the disposal of the coaching staff led by Álvaro Arbeloa in case the team needs him during the match. The French star had missed the first leg, held last week and ending in a 3-0 victory for Real Madrid, due to a knee injury. The newspaper emphasizes that Mbappé is aware of the magnitude of the challenge in the second leg and therefore does not want to be away from the team at this crucial stage, hoping to be with his teammates to support them and achieve the goal of advancing to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Champions League.
