Kylian Mbappé is now a Real Madrid player. The Frenchman joined the white team's training sessions this week and is expected to make his debut with the Merengue shirt on August 14 in the European Super Cup against Atalanta in Warsaw. On August 7, he was in Valdebebas to undergo medical tests and there he met one of the team's stars: Jude Bellingham.
The Englishman will live his second season with Carlo Ancelotti's club, after an unforgettable first campaign where he surprised the world with his talent and won LaLiga, the Spanish Super Cup and the Champions League. The French striker hopes to surpass these successes in his debut in the team chaired by Florentino Pérez.
Mbappé 'amazed' by Bellingham's quality
Mbappé has already shared with his closest circle his first impressions as a Merengue player, where his compatriots Aurelién Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga are. But he knows them, so his biggest surprise so far has been Bellingham. He is reported to have told his teammates: “Jude is a very intense player, one who never tires… A perfect teammate and a very tough opponent to face.”
Both the Frenchman and the Englishman have been the players who have had the most work on their return to training. Both went far in Euro 2024 and took some time off before joining the team. Both are expected to start in the Super Cup, but everything will depend on their fitness, because Ancelotti does not want to take any risks with two of his best players.
