In a pre-match press conference, Camavinga addressed the Mbappe rumours: "You want to know the truth? I haven’t spoken with him at all, and I don’t know what he will do next summer… Mbappe is not our player, we are going to respect PSG. I’m not talking about that. I don’t know what’s going to happen, that’s the truth."

Camavinga is not the only one to rubbish talk that Madrid have finalised a deal with the France captain. Carlo Ancelotti, too, has insisted that he won't comment on Mbappe talk – and asserted that Madrid: "Already have the best players in the world."
