Mbappe in Real Madrid squad for FIFA Intercontinental Cup final in Qatar
Al JazeeraThe leg injury Kylian Mbappe sustained in the Champions League last week has not prevented him from being included in the squad for the FIFA Intercontinental Cup final. Kylian Mbappe has been named in Real Madrid’s squad for their FIFA Intercontinental Cup final and the 25-year-old will travel to Qatar for it this week, the Spanish club has said. Real Madrid, who qualified for the FIFA Intercontinental Cup by winning the 2023-24 Champions League, will play in the final against Mexico’s Pachuca – winners of the 2024 CONCACAF Champions Cup, who first had to beat Brazil’s Botafogo and Egypt’s Al Ahly to progress to the final. The FIFA Intercontinental Cup final will be played on December 18 at the Lusail Stadium just outside the capital Doha – the same venue that hosted the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar final.
