Real Madrid forward issues apology to teammates and Alaves midfielder after red card incident .

Kylian Mbappe was sent off after a violent tackle on Antonio Blanco during Real Madrid's 2-1 victory over Alaves. While the player had a moment of self-reflection, he lost no time in attempting to make amends. According to AS, the French forward walked straight to the Alaves dressing room after the match to personally apologize to Blanco. Interestingly, that wasn't it. The former PSG forward also apologized to his Real Madrid teammates for leaving them one player short. Fortunately, Alaves suffered a red card 70 minutes into the game, with Manu Sanchez getting his marching orders. Mbappe regrets his actions. Mbappe is believed to have been highly disappointed with himself for his lack of discipline. The attacker was frustrated by the red card, particularly because it was his first since 2019. Fortunately for Real Madrid, the problem may not be as pricey as initially thought. This is because Mbappe faces a possible three-game ban for the tackle, although all indica...

A Manchester United legend recounts how Real Madrid missed out on a World Cup-winning midfielder in 2016.

France has produced some outstanding midfielders throughout the years, and Real Madrid has been fortunate to have the services of a few of them.

Even with today's team, the foundation of Los Blancos' midfield is primarily French, thanks to Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga. That number, however, could have been higher, according to an update from The Overlap podcast.

While N'Golo Kante, Adrien Rabiot, and Warren Zaire-Emery, along with the Real Madrid stars, represent a distinct generation of French midfielders, Paul Pogba is one of his compatriots who deserves to be included on the list.

A bout of insanity and a failing drug test, however, appear to have cost him the rest of his professional career.

Pobga was close to Real Madrid.


Former French player and Manchester United veteran Patrice Evra stated in a recent podcast that Pogba was close to signing for Real Madrid at one time in his career.

"Paul (Pogba) wanted to move to Real Madrid." Florentino Perez stated, 'We can't offer you the same money. [His agent] Raiola picked up the phone and contacted Manchester United.

The timeframe in issue is undoubtedly the summer of 2016, when Pogba was looking to leave Juventus after more than five years.

Negotiations over his future continued into August, with a multitude of clubs interested in acquiring him. Real Madrid was Pogba's top desire, but his representative, Mino Raiola, was more concerned with negotiating the best financial offer for his client.

In the end, he signed for Manchester United for €105 million, although his career did not take off at the English club. While he was a mainstay for the Red Devils, inconsistency and frequent injuries plagued his time at Old Trafford.

The 2018 FIFA World Cup winner returned to Juventus on a free transfer in the summer of 2022, but earned a doping ban after testing positive for DHEA.

Pogba made his last professional appearance in September 2023, and he is currently banned for the next three years. Already 31, the player may never be able to return to the field at his top performance again.

Thierry Henry was denied a joyful homecoming as France was defeated by gold medal winners Spain.

Exactly 36 years after Vinnie Jones, Dave Beasant, Lawrie Sanchez, and others ripped up the rulebook to propel Bobby Gould's Wimbledon to a storied FA Cup victory, Thierry Henry's France fell agonisingly short of capturing an emotional Olympic gold medal in front of a sold-out Parc des Princes in Paris. Henry, who gave his young French team the nickname the 'Crazy Ones' due to their fun-loving nature, won nearly everything as a player, and despite the stars appearing to align for a historic gold medal on home turf, the Arsenal legend was overshadowed by Santi Denia's slick Spaniards in a dramatic 5-3 extra-time defeat. Sergio Camello of Rayo Vallecano was their unexpected late nemesis, dunking French goalkeeper Guillaume Restes with 100 minutes on the clock to startle a stunned capacity crowd. And he delivered a virtual carbon copy of that finish with the game's final kick, charging in on goal as the French flung bodies forward to slot past Restes and cruelly ...
