Temptation

Trust me, Mbappe will be supporting Liverpool in the final. He'll want Madrid to lose this one.
Why?
Because he'll not want the narrative to be "Oh when he joined Madrid they were the reigning European champs already!"; he'd want to ideally join in a CR7 to Madrid-like situation where he joined them in a more dull phase acting as the saviour. It's stupid but this is how narratives work in Football. Unfortunately for Mbappe, 15 years later people will indeed think that Real were in a great phase when Mbappe joined.
