“He’s a phenomenon and I bet he’ll succeed with total certainty” – Toni Polster on Mbappé

Former Sevilla striker Toni Polster has expressed his confidence that Kylian Mbappé will become a major success at Real Madrid, despite his slow start at the club.
Following the French forward’s performance against Sevilla on Sunday, Polster, who is highly regarded for his insight into football, stated that he believes Mbappé will eventually thrive at the Santiago Bernabeu once he overcomes his emotional challenges.
Mbappé made a high-profile move to Real Madrid in the summer after his contract with Paris Saint-Germain came to an end, leaving behind a legacy as one of the world’s most highly regarded players.
His move to Los Blancos was anticipated with much excitement, as many expected him to continue his meteoric rise to superstardom in Spain.
Despite the early setbacks, Polster, who enjoyed a successful career in European football, remains optimistic about Mbappé’s future at Real Madrid.
When asked about his thoughts on the current Real Madrid squad, Polster was quick to name Mbappé as his top pick. “I’ll stick with Mbappé,” he said.
“I think he’s spectacular. Indeed, he hasn’t started at his best in Madrid, but when he solves his emotional issues and fully adapts to the environment, he’ll be a success because he has everything you could want in an attacking player.”
Polster pointed out that Mbappé’s talent is undeniable, describing him as a “phenomenon” and confidently predicting that he will find success in Spain.
“He’s got all the tools to be a top player,” Polster added.
“It’s just a matter of time before he finds his rhythm and delivers at the level everyone expects of him.”

Arteta Confirms Ødegaard Will Remain Arsenal Captain Despite Recent Struggles

Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta has addressed the ongoing rumors surrounding Martin Ødegaard’s captaincy, making it clear that the Norwegian midfielder will not be stripped of the armband. Speculation had surfaced following a string of disappointing performances from the team, including their Champions League exit. Despite this, The Athletic reports that these rumors are unfounded, and Ødegaard is set to retain the captain’s role for next season.
After a knee injury sidelined him for almost three months, Ødegaard’s form has dipped, with only one Premier League goal since the start of the year. His impact was also lacking during Arsenal’s Champions League semi-final tie against Paris Saint-Germain, where the Gunners lost 1-0 in both legs.
Despite calls from pundit Mark Lawrenson for Arteta to consider handing the captaincy to Declan Rice, Arsenal is reportedly confident that Ødegaard will remain as captain when the new season begins. The 24-year-old was appointed captain in 2022 after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Alexandre Lacazette’s departures.

Former Borussia Dortmund shot-stopper Roman Weidenfeller has revealed his preference for Cristiano Ronaldo over Lionel Messi, praising the Portuguese star’s unmatched dedication and work ethic.
Weidenfeller, who faced both legends during his playing days, described Ronaldo as a standout among top forwards like Messi and Higuain. According to him, Ronaldo’s discipline sets him apart. “He’s always the first to arrive in the dressing room, hitting the gym and training hard, and the last to leave,” he said in an interview with The Hindu.
He credited Ronaldo’s commitment as the key to his long-lasting success, noting that even now, the Al-Nassr forward remains driven as ever in Saudi Arabia. With five Ballon d’Ors and major titles across the Premier League, La Liga, Serie A, Champions League, and Euro 2016, Ronaldo’s legendary status continues to grow at 40, following iconic spells at Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus.
