The 2018 World Cup winner with Les Bleus, who was unable to make the French team for the 2024 Olympics, is striving to be at full strength in Spain. He has become the latest “Galactico” at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Real handed Mbappe an extended break after playing at Euro 2024 – where he suffered a broken nose – and left him out of the squad for the pre-season tour of the United States. Carlo Ancelotti is now putting him through his paces at Valdebebas.

Mbappe, who joined Real on a free transfer after cutting ties with Paris Saint-Germain, quickly felt at home in the Spanish capital, showing off his finishing skills while also making his colleagues look ridiculous with his speed of execution.
The Brazil international found himself at one point at the mercy of Mbappe, who is set to make his first competitive appearance in new surroundings. The Frenchman is expected to make his Madrid debut, possibly from the bench, in the UEFA Super Cup match against Europa League winners Atalanta on Wednesday.
