The French international became another “galactic” in Santiago Bernabéu in the summer of 2024. He joined a team of stars of the Spanish capital, rich in talent, but also in excessive egos.
The Brazilian striker Vinicius has been an emblematic figure of the Merengues in recent years, helping them to win two champions leagues, but he must now share the show with players like Mbappé and Jude Bellingham.
Cohabitation is not always easy in Real Madrid
Rumors have reported divisions within Real, but Mbappé insists that these rumors are devoid of foundation. He told the Sexta about his relationship with Vinicius: “ Our relationship is very good, it's normal for people to talk about us, two famous players who make the difference, but I came with the idea of playing with Vinicius. »»
“I can't imagine a Real Madrid without Vini. We play well, we can be better. People expect more from us, and that's normal. We are well together and this is the most important moment of the season. We will try to help Madrid win as much as possible. ”
Mbappé also explained why he joined Real after reaching the end of his contract at Paris Saint-Germain and having become free: ” There are more important things than money. I wanted to play for Real Madrid, here at Bernabéu. For me, the most important thing is to be happy. I was absolutely certain (to finish in Madrid). I had great confidence in my abilities, and that was what I wanted in all my heart since my childhood. I always dreamed of playing for Real Madrid.
Mbappé won the UEFA Super Cup and the FIFA Intercontinental Cup during its first season with Real. He scored 33 goals in 47 appearances in all competitions and hopes to be in the running for a first Ballon d'Or soon.
