Mbappé traveled to Sardinia as part of a recovery plan supervised by Real Madrid. However, his choice to share moments with Expósito during this critical phase has not sat well with many fans. “Part of the criticism is based on an over-interpretation of elements related to a recovery period strictly supervised by the club,” said Mbappé’s representatives, defending his commitment to the team.

Real Madrid finds itself in a precarious position, trailing Barcelona by 11 points in La Liga and having been eliminated from both the Champions League and Copa del Rey. With only two matches left in La Liga, the pressure on players like Mbappé intensifies.

Photos of the couple surfaced on social media while the team prepared for an upcoming league match, further fueling discontent among supporters. Some fans have taken action, circulating an online petition urging Real Madrid to sell Mbappé.

The internal dynamics of the team have also come under scrutiny. Reports suggest that some players feel uneasy about the leniency shown towards Mbappé regarding his time off. In response to the situation, head coach Álvaro Arbeloa remarked, “Cada jugador hace lo que considera oportuno en su tiempo libre, no es asunto mío,” emphasizing that players manage their free time as they see fit.

As tensions simmer within the squad, it remains unclear how these events will impact team morale and performance moving forward. Mbappé continues to train alone on days off to aid his recovery ahead of crucial matches, but questions linger about how his public image intertwines with his responsibilities on the pitch.

The next few weeks will be pivotal for both Mbappé and Real Madrid as they navigate through this challenging season.

As the clock ticked towards the 81st minute, Lewandowski found himself in the right place at the right time. A precise cross from Marcus Rashford met his head perfectly, sending the ball into the net. Just five minutes later, Ferran Torres added another goal for Barcelona. “It is a huge victory for us,” said Hansi Flick, Barcelona’s coach.

Despite a late goal from Raúl García in the 89th minute for Osasuna, Barcelona held on to their lead. This match marked an impressive milestone — their 10th consecutive league win. With this victory, they moved 14 points clear of second-placed Real Madrid.

Ferran Torres echoed the sentiment of his coach: “We’ve put the pressure on Madrid because tomorrow, if they don’t win, then we really will be champions.” The stakes were high as Barcelona aimed for their second consecutive La Liga title.

The upcoming match against Real Madrid on May 10 could seal their fate. If Real Madrid drops points against Espanyol before that clash, Barcelona will be crowned champions without even needing to play. “For me I just want to be champions as soon as possible,” Torres added.

This season has been remarkable for Barcelona under Hansi Flick’s guidance. The team not only showcased resilience but also tactical brilliance on tough grounds like El Sadar — one of the toughest venues in La Liga. With every match, they inch closer to adding another title to their storied history.
