He began the game on the bench, jogging onto the pitch to a rapturous ovation, applauding the fans and soaking in the atmosphere before entering the field in the 68th minute. Prior to this, Mbappe had been admitted to hospital in Miami due to his illness, which caused him to miss all three group games-though his timely return to training ahead of this knockout fixture was a major morale with limited minutes, Mbappe made an impression. He linked up smoothly with Vincius Jnior, created several chances, and completed 17 passes with only one miscue. Although he didn't find the back of the net, his movement and link-up play underscored his sharpness and suggested that top form under Alonso's system may be just around the REAL SEE OFF JUVEadvertisementIn the early stages, Juventus looked lively and posed immediate threats.

Ancelotti-favourite Real Madrid star will start vs Barcelona after overcoming injury
Real Madrid will lock horns with Barcelona tomorrow night in Seville with the Copa del Rey trophy on the line. Having been beaten by the Blaugrana twice already this season, Carlo Ancelotti & co. will be eager to exact a measure of revenge and get their hands on a third trophy this season. Boost for Real Madrid as Ferland Mendy set to start Heading into the game, Real Madrid have been handed a boost as MARCA reports that Ferland Mendy will start at left-back in Saturday's Copa del Rey final against Barcelona. Advertisement The French left-back has proven in recent training sessions that he has fully recovered from the injury sustained in the second leg of the Champions League Round of 16 against Atletico Madrid. Following the match against Getafe, Mendy participated in the last two training sessions without issue, confirming his fitness. As a result, manager Ancelotti has opted to include him in the starting eleven for the high-stakes clash at Estadio de La Cartuja. Set to start vs Barcelona. (Photo by) Ancelotti values Mendy's experience in major fixtures over what Fran Garcia might bring in what would be his first significant appearance as a starter. Advertisement Throughout the season, the Italian coach has consistently shown greater trust in Mendy than in the academy product. The initial plan had been to deploy Eduardo Camavinga at left-back. However, the injury he suffered in Getafe has ruled him out for the final and the remainder of the season. While Ancelotti considered his options, Mendy's strong return in training has made him the clear choice. Meanwhile, Federico Valverde is set to start at right-back, with Antonio Rudiger and Raul Asensio expected to form the central defensive pairing. The main tactical uncertainty lies in whether Ancelotti will stick with his usual setup, typically involving four attacking players, or opt for a more conservative approach with four midfielders.
