Mbappé in the squad despite injury: Real Madrid is fighting for the title!

Kylian Mbappé is back in the game! Despite a painful thigh injury sustained in the Champions League, the French superstar will be selected for the FIFA Intercontinental Cup grand final.

The football world is holding its breath! Kylian Mbappé, the 25-year-old Real Madrid striker, will travel to Qatar this week to play in the highly anticipated FIFA Intercontinental Cup final. The Spanish football legend has officially confirmed that Mbappé is part of the squad heading to Doha.

Concerns were high for Mbappé after he suffered a hamstring injury during Real Madrid's thrilling 3-2 win over Atalanta in Bergamo, Italy, on December 10, 2024. But the last training sessions show: the French winger has fought his way back!

A comeback in Qatar

“Mbappé trained both with the team and individually,” reported Real Madrid after the last training session before the Doha adventure on Monday. The fans can breathe a sigh of relief - the star is ready to shine on the pitch!

Real Madrid have qualified for the final after winning the 2023-24 UEFA Champions League. In the final they will face Mexican team Pachuca, who secured the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup title. Previously, they had to beat Brazilian side Botafogo and Egypt's Al Ahly to reach the final.

The grand finale

The highly anticipated final will take place on December 18 at Lusail Stadium, just a few kilometers from the capital Doha - the same stadium that hosted the 2022 World Cup. The newly launched FIFA Intercontinental Cup is an annual competition that brings together the champions of the UEFA Champions League and the top international club competitions. A celebration for all football fans!

Mbappé's return is not only a bright spot for Real Madrid, but also an exciting event for fans worldwide. All eyes will be on the French superstar as he tries to lead his team to victory and secure a place in football history!
