This Wednesday was the big day for Kylian Mbappé. Like a young student who puts on his best outfit for the start of the school year, the Frenchman was officially back from vacation and had his big debut in training with Real Madrid. The team led by Carlo Ancelotti was back from its American tour and the Italian coach took the opportunity to meet up with the internationals who had an extra vacation. This is particularly the case for Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, Ferland Mendy, Dani Carvajal, Aurélien Tchouameni, Federico Valverde and therefore Kylian Mbappé. And the first images of Kylian Mbappé, in his new training outfit, quickly set the Spanish press and social networks alight.

After a difficult end to the season with a missed Euro, the French international took advantage of the summer break to recharge his batteries and especially to catch up on his physical status. Real Madrid had provided its star with a tailor-made re-athleticization plan to allow him to get back in shape and save time on his preparation. Especially since his goal is to be ready in less than a week for the first official match of the season: the European Super Cup against Atalanta. And it is visibly successful since the form displayed by the former PSG player impressed everyone at the training center.

An impressive physique

According to information from The TeamReal Madrid’s historic fitness coach Antonio Pintus was impressed by Kylian Mbappé’s physical condition and his figure. The Frenchman appeared very sharp and clearly followed the program put together by the Madrid club to the letter. His form also caused a reaction in the Spanish press, who spoke of a transformed Kylian Mbappé after his return from vacation. And while he has only worked out in the gym with the rest of his teammates so far, KM7 (or rather KM9 from now on) will be hitting the Valdebebas pitches this Thursday morning for his first team training session.

The opportunity for him to work on automatisms with his teammates who have been dreaming of playing with him for a while. Internally, Dani Carvajal explained to the Frenchman that the entire Madrid locker room had been talking about his arrival for a while and that he was just waiting for that. Vinicius Jr and Jude Bellingham even campaigned for his arrival, wanting to play in the same team as him. For his official debut, Kylian Mbappé made a very good impression and even shocked the Madrid staff with his attitude since he was, according to theTeamdescribed as educated and affable. Now it remains to also make a good impression on the pitch with this first decisive match in a week.
