Real Madrid will try to save at least one trophy from a disappointing season while beating Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final, but they won’t have Kylian Mbappe in the starting XI.
The French striker was left in Sevilla’s field and Mbappe failed to fully recover from an ankle injury suffered by Madrid’s Champions League match against Arsenal in Madrid.
Carlo Ancelotti said this week that Mbappe could be shown in the finals, but apparently he could only play a cameo role.
However, Mbappe is not the only missing striker in the spectacle of the Krasico Cup final.
