It was in Miami that Kylian Mbappé began his vacation last week after his huge presentation at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium as Real Madrid’s new star player. Carlo Ancelotti’s Merengues will be heading to the United States in a few days for an American tour that includes three gala matches, against AC Milan on July 31, Barça on August 3 for a Clasico at the MetLife Stadium (in the suburbs of New York) and against Chelsea three days later.
Mbappé may greet his new teammates, but he is not expected to train with his club during this training camp across the Atlantic. He is due to travel to Real Madrid City in the Spanish capital on Tuesday, August 6, to begin his pre-season preparation. Only a week before his official debut? The 25-year-old prodigy has already asked to start the European Super Cup against Atalanta on Wednesday, August 14 in Warsaw, as indicated by As.
An entrance trophy for Mbappé?
The captain of the French team remains on a nightmare Euro, between physical and mental difficulties in the run-up to the European Championship in Germany, then a broken nose and very laborious performances until the semi-final lost against Spain. But Mbappé could therefore begin his new adventure at the Casa Blanca with a brand new entry trophy. He who obviously never played in this official UEFA match between the winner of the Champions League and that of the Europa League.
With Mbappé and all his other stars, Real Madrid will start La Liga straight away, on Sunday, August 18, on the Mallorca pitch. The French striker will not even have two weeks of pre-season preparation in his legs before discovering the Spanish championship. Enough to allow him to start the 2024-2025 season with a bang against very average teams like Valladolid or Las Palmas?
