"Have a sense of priorities." This is what Kylian Mbappé wished for during his speech at the UNFP trophy ceremony. While he had just received that of best player, the French striker immediately had words of support for Sergio Rico. "I would like to insist on having my sincerest thoughts for Sergio Rico. I know that there are much more important things than football, all the players of the club are with him," he began. The 29-year-old Spanish goalkeeper is hospitalized in Andalusia and has been in a worrying state since Sunday morning.
