If Kylian Mbappé had any space left in his backpack to save any more messages of affection, he did so with José María Gutiérrez, ‘Guti’. The former Real Madrid player, one of the most illustrious ’14’, made an appearance on social networks, not only to celebrate the historic white comeback that moved the merengue team to the quarterfinals of the Champions League, but also to express the general sentiment of Madridismo.
“Good evening. This only happens at the Bernabéu. That’s why Real Madrid is the best club in the world,” he wrote in a first post accompanied by a photo with the club’s shield reflected on the sea by the moon. Minutes later, he invited Mbappé to make his field that unique place with which he qualified the white stadium. “Mbappe, your house. The Bernabéu awaits you and you know where the magical nights are lived…”he published, directly mentioning the Parisian’s personal account, encouraging him to finish taking a step that seems like a matter of time.
Guti’s was one more gesture than Bondy has been receiving recently and intensified once the chances of not renewing for PSG progressively vanish. One of the loudest, and that in the previous one divided Ancelotti and Modric in the press conference, the loud ovation from the Bernabéu when the public address system pronounced his name reciting the Parisian starting eleven. Beyond that, club personalities like Buyoand even the always restrained Butragueñowho gave a slight smile when asked about it by Movistar +also joined.
