Two Real Madrid Stars Included in Statistical World Cup Team of the Round
Two players from the renowned Spanish club Real Madrid have earned a place in the statistical Team of the Round for the World Cup's Round of 32.
The standout players from Real Madrid are Marc Cucurella and Kylian Mbappé.
Marc Cucurella, the left-back, played a crucial role as Spain secured their advancement to the tournament's Last 16, eliminating Austria from contention.
During Spain's decisive 3-0 victory, the recent addition to the Bernabéu roster was highly influential on the left flank, contributing assists for two of his team's three goals.
Joining Cucurella in this elite selection is his new teammate, Kylian Mbappé.
The forward, Mbappé, has been in exceptional form throughout the summer tournament in North America, showcasing his explosive best.
Therefore, it was not entirely surprising to see the 27-year-old prove his mettle once again in France's commanding 3-0 win over Sweden. Mbappé scored a brace, bringing his total goal count for the 2026 World Cup to six.
Both the attacker Mbappé and Cucurella have been included in the latest Team of the Round by statisticians Sofascore, alongside other notable players like Lionel Messi and Amad Diallo.
