Wenger Defends Mbappé and Predicts World Cup Stardom
Legendary manager Arsène Wenger has come to Kylian Mbappé’s defence after a difficult season at Real Madrid. Wenger argued that Mbappé has been unfairly scapegoated despite scoring 42 goals in all competitions. He believes the forward arrived at an underperforming Real side and became an easy target. Speaking to a French publication, Wenger tipped the 27-year-old to go on and have a “fantastic World Cup,” noting Mbappé’s freshness compared to players burdened by heavy club schedules. France will start their defence of the trophy against Senegal, then face Iraq and Norway in Group I of the 2026 World Cup.
