It has to be, and everybody is expecting Kylian Mbappe to bring his best.
I'm not sure if he's going to be 100% fit and sharp, but what we saw, and I was making a point, we saw a very good and sharp and with that eager of showing that Kylian Mbappe is back and he's going to do a good job.
Very needed for Real Madrid because against Atletico de Madrid,
Kylian Mbappe is going to be very important.
Not only his skills, but his ability of moving around, not being in one place, and of course the goals.
Mario, he seems to score, doesn't he, just about every game this season.
I mean, there's very few he hasn't scored in.
I think he was involved in five of the seven goals in that tie.
And in that 5-2 game earlier this season when Atletico beat Real 5-2 at the Metropolitano, he ran them ragged, really, didn't he?
I think Julian is back a little bit on his bed.
He's confident again.
The team, we normally focus a lot on the strikers because they don't score, but the amount of work that this player has been doing, the amount of effort, continuous effort every single game, is being shown, and I think that's why he's been keeping on the field every single time, because he's got a lot of confidence.
When he's on the score sheet, we always are a lot happier.
And I'm sure that Simeone is looking forward to see Julian Alvarez once again showing that he's one of the best strikers in the world.
One of the little subplots here is that both first-choice goalkeepers, we think, are injured.
So two substitute goalies in a way.
Moussaoufa, Atletico Madrid.
What's the biggest danger, do you think, with having the reserve goalkeeper?
Who suffers most of the two teams?
I noticed Musso is in the Argentinian squad that's just been announced.
