For Real Madrid, there is no doubt: the team leader is Kylian Mbappé. This summer, new steps were taken in this direction, since the club entrusted the symbolic number 10 to him, just as it is he who should draw the penalties next season. Clearly, the boss of the team, at least on the ground, is French, and not Vinicius Jr, to whom we refuse a salary up to that of the Bondynois. A situation which would also annoy the Brazilian striker, in full negotiations for a new contract.
However, Mbappé cannot rest on his laurels and he knows that he will have to do better. If his season has been rather correct statistically, with 44 goals in total all competitions broke the record for a player's goals in a first season in Madrid, he has not always been at the level in big games. And it is in (slight) for this reason that Real Madrid did not win a major title during this last season of Carlo Ancelotti. Just as he had had a little trouble entering the bath at the start of the season.
Even more responsibilities
As everyday indicates ASthe capital's club is waiting for its brand new number 10 to cross a new CAP during this exercise 2025/2026. Now totally adapted to Madrid life and integrated into the locker room, the owner of Real Madrid has big responsibilities in the eyes of the staff and management. “Real Madrid has put all its eggs in the same basket: that of Kylian Mbappé”indicates the Pro-Madrid newspaper. You will understand, Real Madrid wants a Kylian Mbappé even better than that of last season.
The media also specifies that the new system of Xabi Alonso, which should play with only two attackers and not three as was the case under Carlo Ancelotti, will offer Mbappé an even more important role, and everything indicates that it will still have to improve its statistical line. Km10 knows, great power implies major responsibilities
