Paris Saint-Germain forward Kylian Mbappe has thrown his future at the club into doubt by claiming he has reached what he sees as a “turning point” in his career. Speaking after accepting the Ligue 1 Player of the Year Award this evening, the 20-year-old French international suggested he would like a bigger role going forward after claiming the Ligue 1 title with PSG this season.

Young winger Carles Perez made his La Liga debut for Barcelona in the match against Eibar. He came on a late substitute for Malcom.

Madrid end the season as third place finishers in LaLiga Santander, having lost 12 times over the course of the campaign. "It's not that we didn't want to win it, clearly," Zidane said post-match. "It's that we couldn't win. The best thing that can happen for us is to have [the season] over now and to think about next year as this will change, for sure. "It's complicated, but we have to accept that the season has been bad. It has been difficult from the start of the season, and the end with me; that is the reality." The Frenchman continue to promise that things would change next year but stopped short of guaranteeing silverware. "We must think now about next year, and exciting our fans again,...
