Mbappé criticised in France for skipping int’l games
France captain Kylian Mbappé is facing criticism in his home country for skipping Les Bleus’ Nations League games against Israel and Belgium while being available to play for Real Madrid.
Barcelona coach Hansi Flick has played down concerns about his team’s form but said they must eliminate errors to get back on track after giving up a two-goal lead against Celta Vigo at the weekend.
Real Madrid have been hit with a €30,000 ($31,130) fine and a partial stadium closure — suspended for two years — by UEFA over “discriminatory behaviour” by fans in their Champions League game with Manchester City at the Bernabéu last month.
