Key Players to Watch: Real Madrid vs Marseille

Kylian Mbappé (Real Madrid): In his second season at the club, Mbappé has hit the ground running, proving why Real Madrid was so keen to secure his signature. He leads the team in goal contributions with an impressive four goals and one assist in the first four league matches. His blistering pace and clinical finishing remain a nightmare for defenders, and his ability to convert chances from any position in the final third makes him the primary threat in the Real Madrid attack.

Franco Mastantuono (Real Madrid): The young Argentine playmaker has been a surprise inclusion in Real Madrid's early-season plans. Despite his young age, he has already appeared in five matches this season, demonstrating his rapid development and the manager's trust in his abilities. While his goal contributions are not yet at the level of the seasoned players, his role in the attack is to create chances, and his ability on the ball is a sign of his immense potential.

Amine Gouiri (Marseille): The Algerian international has become a key figure in Marseille's attack this season. He has started in all five of Marseille's league matches and has already contributed to their success. His form has been a bright spot for the club, and he is expected to pose a constant threat to Real Madrid's defence with his pace and directness.
