November 2025

Vinicius Jr has eased his stance in renewal talks and is now close to accepting Real Madrid’s reduced salary offer, stepping back from initial demands to match Kylian Mbappe’s pay as the club pushes to secure his long-term future before 2027. Earlier, negotiations froze amid tension with Xabi Alonso as Vinicius bristled at substitutions, clashed during El Clasico and led a small disgruntled group, but a dressing-room apology and public embrace after the 4-3 win at Olympiacos have reset relations and unlocked progress.

Olympiacos briefly stunned Real Madrid with a superb team goal, only for Kylian Mbappe to respond with a ruthless seven-minute hat-trick before half-time, flipping the game from 1-0 down to a commanding Real lead and adding another historic European feat to his record. After ending a three-match scoring drought with the equaliser on 22 minutes, Mbappe headed in a second moments later, then latched onto Arda Guler’s lofted pass to drill a low third past Konstantinos Tzolakis. The explosive burst reasserted Madrid’s control and ensured another match ball for the France star.

Kylian Mbappe is pursuing a labour court case in Paris claiming Paris Saint Germain owe him around 55 million euros in unpaid wages and bonuses from the final months of his contract, despite his departure from the club in the summer of 2024. His legal team is asking for reclassification of his fixed term deal as permanent and alleging non execution of contract for the last three months, while PSG must explain why they withheld payments, in a highly unusual dispute that skips conciliation and goes straight to a full tribunal judgment.

Endrick is frustrated by a lack of chances under Xabi Alonso after just 11 La Liga minutes this season, following a seven goal debut campaign, and is considering a move to kick start his development away from a crowded attack led by Gonzalo Garcia and Kylian Mbappe. Don Hutchison told Sportscasting he would endorse West Ham signing the powerful 19 year old but suggested a short La Liga loan, at a club where he can start weekly, might better rebuild confidence, fitness and output before any long term Premier League or Real Madrid return.

Carlo Ancelotti explains Real Madrid collapse despite Mbappe arrival

November 2025

Ancelotti reflected on how a title-winning Madrid side with Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham failed to win silverware, slipping behind Barcelona in La Liga and exiting the Champions League at the quarter-final stage. He pointed to a severe defensive injury crisis that disrupted Madrid’s structure, with Dani Carvajal and Eder Militao suffering ACL issues and Antonio Rudiger (Real Madrid) playing hurt. The backline problems forced tactical reshuffles, broke rhythm across the team and eroded the defensive identity that underpinned earlier success.

Gareth Bale calls out Real Madrid forwards after Anfield loss

Bale criticised Mbappe and Vinicius for overcomplicating attacks in a subdued display as Madrid slipped to their first Champions League defeat of the season. Thibaut Courtois kept the margin to one as Liverpool’s Alexis Mac Allister decided it with a second-half header. Liverpool’s off-ball structure boxed Madrid into predictable lanes and narrowed Mbappe’s launch zones. With transitions limited and shot quality poor, Real’s stars forced actions instead of recycling to create superior angles, turning possession into sterile pressure.

Kylian Mbappe scored in France’s 2-0 World Cup qualifying win over Ukraine, equalling Thierry Henry’s record of 51 international goals. The Real Madrid forward is now joint second on France’s all-time scoring chart, behind Olivier Giroud’s 56 goals. Mbappe netted France’s second goal in the 82nd minute after Michael Olise’s opener. Speaking post-match, Mbappe described it as “an honour” to match Henry and praised his legacy, while downplaying immediate focus on Giroud’s record despite being on track to surpass it.
