"With or without Mbappe, we can win many [UEFA] Champions Leagues," Doncic said in remarks after the NBA All-Star game.

A youth player of Real Madrid, with which he has won the EuroLeague, the regular season MVP, and Final Four MVP awards in the 2017-18 season, Doncic remains committed to the royalty team.

Although there are strong rumors about Mbappe moving to Real Madrid, which is a desire he voiced many times before, nothing concrete has taken place yet.

Doncic also commented on the basketball Copa del Rey final between Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, which ended with a 96-85 victory for the former after a strong second-half performance.

""I have seen the game. Very good game. In the end, Madrid won like many times. I'm happy," said the Slovenian of the game's outcome.

While the world of football is being dominated by rumors and European basketball cups coming to an end, Luka Doncic was part of the NBA All-Star break, enjoying his time in the Eastern Conference vs. Western Conference game.
