Just before the Laureus Awards event, two former Real Madrid ambassadors appeared in the Champions League semifinal in which a Spanish team is not competing.
Even though they had previously worked for Los Merengues, Luis Figo and Fabio Capello, both Laureus academy players with connections to the two Milan teams, were there.
When pressed to state clearly which of Kylian Mbappe and Lionel Messi he thought was the better player, Capello, who had previously coached Messi in a charity match, didn't hesistate.
"Messi is wonderful for doing what he has done throughout his entire career and for so many years.
At the Laureus Awards event, Capello said, "He has been the best for numerous years.
"But Mbappe is more effective right now. Even though he lacks Messi's brilliance, he is powerful, quick, and a goal scorer.
Being home to two Champions League semifinalist teams should make Italy proud.
The topic of the forthcoming Milan derby in the Champions League semifinal immediately came up.
Capello, one of the greatest managers in history, was on the AC Milan team, and Figo concluded his elite career with Inter.
It is guaranteed that Italian football will have a representative in the Champions League final for the first time since 2017, and Figo thinks this should be cause for celebration.
In addition to the part performed by Napoli, Italy should be happy to have two semi-finalists, Figo continued.
I would like Inter to win since it is a team that brought me a lot of joy, but they are both fantastic teams.
Capello was more cautious, considering the broader advantages that AC Milan's triumph would have for Serie A.
The fact that Calcio is back is crucial. After a long period of time, I finally saw them in the competition's semifinals," he said.
"I anticipate AC Milan winning."
Both people, despite having connections to Real Madrid, agreed that Manchester City would return to the Champions League final.
"They are one of the best teams in the world," Figo said.
They have sufficient experience to know what to do and avoid losing like they did the previous year. Real Madrid is the finest team in the history of this competition because of the significance of history, which can at times be useful.Although City are the favorites, Madrid will remain in the race until the very end.
The previous Real Madrid head coach, for his part, used numbers.
The best in the world are City. They have 24 excellent players, compared to Madrid's 14 or 15 excellent players. But they also have Ancelotti, who is an excellent matchmaker and understands how to prevail.
Finally, Capello said.
The panel discussed Ancelotti in considerable detail as well. Capello believes there is some skepticism despite the fact that Florentino Perez and the coach both explicitly affirmed his continuity.
