Real Madrid’s Latest Signing, Kylian Mbappé, Trained with the Team Before First UEFA Champions League Game
Kylian Mbappé, the 25-year-old French striker, trained with Real Madrid on Monday, just days before his first UEFA Champions League game with the club after joining from Paris Saint Germain over the summer. Mbappé has already made a strong impression with the team, scoring four goals in six appearances since his move. He will be looking to increase that total in the club’s match against Stuttgart in the Spanish capital on Tuesday.
Mbappé’s decision to join Real Madrid was a childhood dream come true. He was formally presented at the club in July, following a dramatic turn of events that saw him turn down a move to Madrid two years ago in favor of renewing his contract at Paris Saint Germain.
Real Madrid is no stranger to success, having won the UEFA Champions League a record 15 times. The team’s sights are set on claiming their 16th title, and they will have to overcome stiff competition to achieve their goal. One of their toughest challenges will come in the form of Borussia Dortmund, the team they defeated in last season’s final at Wembley Stadium in London. The two teams will meet again in a home game on October 22nd.
The Spanish team will also face a series of home games during the league stage of the Champions League, including matches against FC Salzburg and AC Milan. In the UK, Real Madrid will face off against six-time victors Liverpool, as well as Atalanta, Brest, and Lille.
With Mbappé’s skills on the pitch and the team’s experience in the Champions League, Real Madrid is a force to be reckoned with. As they look to make a strong impression in the competition, fans around the world will be eagerly watching to see if they can claim their 16th title.
