Football history repeatedly proves that no scoreline is completely insurmountable. From dramatic Champions League nights to improbable domestic cup turnarounds, the sport thrives on the belief that the impossible can happen.

Kylian Mbappe's attorneys issued a final warning to Paris Saint-Germain ahead of a €100 million court lawsuit.

Kylian Mbappe, Real Madrid's blockbuster signing, will be officially released from Paris Saint-Germain next week, but the French phenom will not have a clean split. His conflict with PSG appears to be headed toward court.

According to ESPN, Mbappe's attorneys have sent a last warning to PSG over unpaid payments from April, May, and June, as well as a February signing bonus worth over €100 million. PSG claims that Mbappe agreed to forgo some of that money, but Mbappe's legal team claims that there is no legal or written record of the arrangement. It appears that it could wind up in court.

The French champions will have to rely on an alleged verbal agreement with Mbappe, which is being held up in court, but it is a nuance with significant significance. While it was never going to be easy for PSG to move on from Mbappe, a possible legal fight would exacerbate the bitterness of his departure.

Didier Deschamps plans to discuss France captaincy with Kylian Mbappé, as Ibrahima Konaté's popularity rises.

Will Kylian Mbappé (25) keep his position as France captain in 2025? It remains to be seen, given the Real Madrid striker's absences from the previous two international holidays with Les Bleus. According to L'Equipe, Les Bleus coach Didier Deschamps will confront the former PSG forward about his desire to continue wearing the captain's armband. The manager, a former France captain, reportedly wants to know if Mbappé feels the captaincy is too much for him to bear, and if wearing the captain's armband affects his time with his France teammates. According to the source, Deschamps is aware of speculations that Mbappé has considering retiring as France's captain.
