Kylian Mbappe is already making a strong impression at Real Madrid, demonstrating his flair and skill in training sessions ahead of his much-anticipated debut.
The World Cup winner, who recently joined Los Blancos, has been dazzling his new teammates, including pulling off a stunning nutmeg on Brazilian defender Eder Militao.
Mbappe, who was unable to join France’s squad for the 2024 Olympic Games due to a broken nose suffered during Euro 2024, is now fully focused on getting match-ready in Spain. After being granted an extended break post-Euro 2024, he missed Real Madrid’s pre-season tour of the United States and is now catching up on his fitness under the watchful eye of Carlo Ancelotti at Valdebebas.
The 25-year-old Frenchman, who arrived at the Santiago Bernabeu as a free agent following his departure from Paris Saint-Germain, is quickly settling into his new surroundings. His sharp finishing skills and quick feet have already made an impact, with the nutmeg on Militao showcasing his technical ability and confidence.
As Mbappe integrates into the squad, he is expected to make his first competitive appearance for Real Madrid in the upcoming UEFA Super Cup clash against Europa League winners Atalanta. Whether he starts or comes off the bench, all eyes will be on the new ‘Galactico’ as he begins his journey with the Spanish giants.
