Real Madrid and Real Betis end goalless after double guard of ... (Eurosport.com)

Real Madrid were held to a 0-0 draw by Real Betis at the Santiago Bernabeu as the La Liga season draws to a close for the champions.

88’ - WHAT A CHANCE TO WIN IT! Joaquin is presented with a great chance in front of goal from close-range, but blasts it over! The Madrid fans want a penalty on that Benzema trip, but it was outside the box anyway. He met Daniel Carvajal’s cross on the volley to steer a drilled effort towards goal, initially parried out by Rui Silva before Rodrygo snatched at the rebound, but saw his effort deflected wide.

Taken off at half-time for Camavinga. Ferland Mendy—6: A few misplaced passes with Vinicius Junior, but was otherwise solid with the rest of the backline. Full match ratings below:

Immediate Reaction: Real Madrid 0 - 0 Real Betis (Managing Madrid)

The starters get one last run, Marcelo and Isco get their cameos, and no one gets injured.

Most of the tactical analysis and ‘big picture’ stuff, will be tackled on tonight’s post-game podcast. Getting some semblance of match rhythm for the key players was important. Most eyes in this scoreless game were on Marcelo and Isco — both of whom entered the field in the 70th minute to standing ovations.

Real Madrid And Real Betis Share Double Guard Of Honor (SPORTbible)

Real Madrid won La Liga this year so Real Betis showed them respect with a guard of honour and Real reciprocated for Betis' Copa del Rey victory.

The match on Friday was not exactly the entertaining game that the double guard of honour deserved, with no goals to celebrate for either team. The ultimate 'class this' gesture. Despite the rare sight of the double guard of honour, it's not actually the first time it's been done in Spain, with Barcelona and Sevilla sharing one in 2006, when Sevilla won the Europa League, though the pair did not do the same 10 years later.

Kylian Mbappe Reveals He's Staying at PSG, Snubbing Real Madrid ... (Sports Illustrated)

The French superstar isn't going anywhere after all, spurning a long-expected move to Real Madrid to stay put.

PSG’s offer was strong enough for Mbappé to spurn a move to the club he has reportedly longed to play for since he was a boy. Mbappé, meanwhile, stays at PSG and continues to team with Lionel Messi and Neymar in the most star-studded attacking trident on the planet. On the club level, he won a Ligue 1 title with Monaco and then four more with PSG, while also capturing seven other domestic trophies. ... This summer my ambition was clear, I wanted to leave and put the club in the best circumstances to bring in my replacement.” The decision is the culmination of a yearlong process that nearly took a drastic turn last summer, when Madrid tried to pry Mbappé from PSG during the transfer window. Mbappé confirmed that he had asked for a transfer despite his contract having a year to run, but he could have signed a pre-contract with Real Madrid as early as Jan. 1 had he wanted to fully commit.

Kylian Mbappe is set to stay at PSG in a shock U-turn that sees Real Madrid miss out on their No. 1 transfer target, sources told ESPN.

Sources told ESPN on Friday that there was "nervousness and confusion" at Real Madrid around the Mbappe situation, as well as a growing "pessimism" over completing the high-profile signing.

But after a late change of heart, Mbappe is set to sign a three-year contract with PSG.

Kylian Mbappé Will Stay at P.S.G., Rejecting Real Madrid (The New York Times)

Paris St.-Germain has convinced Kylian Mbappé to sign a new contract, one of the richest in soccer history, that will keep the French striker at the club ...

But unlike Haaland, whose contract had to be acquired by Manchester City for an eight-figure transfer fee, Mbappé’s expiring contract in Paris made him a free agent, effectively able to choose from among the highest bidders for his prodigious talents. Amid an economic downturn caused by the coronavirus pandemic, few teams but the wealthiest elite have been able to make the type of marquee signings that were once a staple of every soccer off-season. Real Madrid’s worst fears were confirmed on Saturday, when Pérez, in Belgrade to follow Real Madrid’s basketball team in a European final, received a message telling him Mbappé had decided to stay at P.S.G. For Mbappé, the deal comes amid major efforts to build his brand away from the field. But Mbappé had made no secret of his desire to move to Real Madrid from P.S.G., and the Spanish powerhouse went all out to recruit him. P.S.G.’s success in persuading Mbappé to stay is the latest sign that the dominance of global soccer that once rested in the hands of legacy clubs like Real Madrid, Barcelona and Manchester United has now shifted to a few deep-pocketed, Gulf-backed teams. P.S.G.’s strategy of bringing the most exciting talents, whatever the cost, has had mixed results. Mbappé picked the one that will keep him in Paris. Its offer included a signing bonus of almost $140 million, a net salary of more than $26 million every season and complete control over his image rights. Mbappé informed Real Madrid earlier Saturday that he would not be coming. But P.S.G., the perennial French champion that is bankrolled by gas-rich Qatar, prevented him from leaving as a free agent by offering even better terms. The saga surrounding Mbappé’s future had gripped France, and was considered a matter of such national importance that last month the French president Emmanuel Macron told a news conference he would do whatever he could to keep Mbappé, considered a national treasure, in the country.
