He wasn't really asked about it, but when Real Madrid played Man City, I think it was in the knockouts in the Champions League, Mbappé was a doubt for the game.
Actually, he didn't play.
And in a question mentioning Mbappé, Pep said something like, well, I saw that he was having a good time, wasn't he?
Ah, sorry.
Paul.
I think that the thing with Real Madrid is they don't have a clear candidate as in who would be the perfect manager.
What happened with Xavi Alonso last summer, in a way, it's a message to the club as in we brought a manager with an idea, with a philosophy, with a way to do things, but
And we didn't tolerate that.
It didn't fit with the players that we have, with how we want to operate.
And now, to what James was saying here, the dream scenario that they sort of envisage is bringing a manager that follows Ancelotti's path when he joins from Everton.
That's the dream scenario or the best thing that they can occur with.
And that tallies a bit with the list of managers that are in contention for the job because Divier, Deschamps...
Yeah, he's seen more of a dressing room manager or an ego manager than a tactician.
Then you put Pochettino in there, who, again, is linked to the job because of his relationship with Florentino Perez rather than his achievements in recent years.
Jose Mourinho, Klopp doesn't seem to have interest on the job.
So the profile that they are looking is trying to mirror what happened with Ancelotti, basically.
And, you know, who knows if Real Madrid start following... I am not sure if that's the way that Florentino Pellegrini gets noticed about him.
Yes.
So we'll address that next week.
Although, Paul?
