As Xabi Alonso announced this Thursday, Kylian Mbappé will join his family in Saudi Arabia to play in the final of the Spanish Super Cup against Barça on Sunday.
The return. Real Madrid coach Xabi Alonso announced Thursday after the victory in the semi-final of the Spanish Super Cup against Atlético (2-1) that French striker Kylian Mbappé would join his group in Saudi Arabia on Friday to play in the final on Sunday against FC Barcelona.
“Mbappé will travel tomorrow, and the match will be different from tonight. He is much better, he trained today and his feelings are good. He will have the same chances of playing on Sunday as all the other players who are part of the group.declared Xabi Alonso at a press conference.

The Basque coach had assured the day before that Mbappé, injured in the left knee and absent from the official group announced by the club to play in the tournament, was too short to hold his place for the semi-final won against Atlético (2-1).
The captain of the Blues, providential scorer for the Spanish giant (18 goals in the league and nine in the Champions League this season), could thus come into play depending on the scenario of the match, as he did last season during the final of the Copa del Rey, lost in overtime against Barça (3-2).
