Kylian Mbappé is finally realizing one of his dreams. That of wearing the Real Madrid jersey. The French striker signed with the Spanish club this summer until June 2029.
But before becoming a player for the Casa Blanca this summer, Mbappé had already worn the Real Madrid jersey at the age of 13 during a week-long trial with the youth team. At that time, he met a certain Luca Zidane, one of the children of French legend Zinedine Zidane.
Zizou’s son, who speaks French, helped him integrate. But ultimately, KM9 did not sign in Madrid at that time. During an interview with DAZN, Luca Zidane returned to this episode. ” In the Madrid youth team there are very good players, but he looked different. He had that power and was technically very good. You could tell he had something extra. He didn’t stay for non-sporting reasons,” he said.
Mbappé starts against Atalanta
It’s the big return for Real Madrid. This Wednesday, the Madrilenians face Atalanta in the final of the European Super Cup in Warsaw, Poland. Arrived this summer, Kylian Mbappé should play his first minutes in his new colors.
The Frenchman should even start the match at the forefront of the attack. Carlo Ancelotti has reportedly decided to return to a 4-3-3 system. Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo should support Real Madrid’s new number 9.
