"Currently, Mbappé is the best striker. He has scored a lot of goals and has world-class talent. How many Clásicos have we played in the last year and a half? And how many have we lost? We've lost one. I know Mbappé is a fantastic player and that he's phenomenal when he has space behind the defense."
"Yes [he can start], all the players are ready to be on the team. It's great to have everyone together. Especially Gavi and Christensen. We'll decide [the starting XI] after the last training session. The important thing is that we have options in every position, and they're all good. Everyone wants to play and be a starter. The key is the team. We have to make the right decision."
"I was very pleased with Wednesday's performance. But we also have other options. Frenkie and Eric can play. Gerard is having a fantastic season. Today we have our final training session; we'll see what we need. Everyone is available. We'll decide then."
Kylian Mbappé is expected to play after recovering from a minor knee injury and is described as a world-class striker with prolific goal-scoring. Lamine Yamal is ready to start despite only playing 20 minutes in the semi-final because of illness. The coaching staff can choose between Eric García and Frenkie de Jong in midfield, with both available alongside other options. The squad values having choices in every position and prioritizes team balance and philosophy over changing tactics for a single opponent. Final selections will be made after the last training session.
