Three talking points as Real Madrid face Arsenal in the UCL.

Real Madrid faces Arsenal in the second leg of the UEFA Champions League quarter-finals tonight. The Merengues were crushed 3-0 in the first leg and now face an impossible job of overturning this massive deficit, particularly against one of Europe's top defensive sides. However, because Real Madrid is Real Madrid, no one should rule them out of the tie just yet, as they have often demonstrated their capacity to overcome similar difficult scenarios in recent years. But before of this game, there will be three key issues in the thoughts of Merengue supporters and other football aficionados in general. Can Kylian Mbappe make the difference for his team? After years of effort, Real Madrid and Florentino Perez were finally able to sign French superstar Kylian Mbappe to their roster. With his arrival, the Merengues were clearly the team to beat, having just won the UCL and La Liga double and adding one of the best players in the world to their attack. However, this season has not...

Carlo Ancelotti publicly supports Kylian Mbappe following his penalty miss against Liverpool.

Real Madrid suffered their third Champions League defeat in five matches, falling 2-0 to Liverpool on Wednesday night. As a result, the reigning champions are in a dangerous situation in the league phase standings, sitting in the final play-off spot (24th).

Real Madrid had a dismal night, according to Marca, and Carlo Ancelotti assessed his team's performance.

"We did well in the first half. We defended well as a unit. The transitions were terrific, but we made the wrong option with the last ball. We could have evened it with the penalty. "We will improve."


Ancelotti also publicly supported Kylian Mbappe, who had his penalty saved by Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher with the score still 1-0.

"Kylian Mbappe has everyone's support and will quickly recover from this terrible period. He is an exceptional player; we must be patient. He's doing well and adapting nicely."

Real Madrid will attempt to bounce back this weekend when they host Getafe at the Santiago Bernabeu. They return to Champions League play in two weeks when they travel to face Atalanta.

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 ...
