The only star at Paris Saint-Germain after the departures of Lionel Messi and Neymar, Kylian Mbappé decided to change clubs by joining Real Madrid. But there, the French striker must share the bill with many players like Jude Bellingham or even Vinicius Jr, second in the 2024 Ballon d’Or.
We’ve been talking about it since the start of his career, it finally happened. At 25 years old and after almost a decade spent in Ligue 1 between theAS Monaco and the PSG, Kylian Mbappé decided to open a new chapter in his career by signing with Real Madrid. But for the moment, we cannot say that the striker’s new Spanish life really lives up to expectations.

Complicated beginnings for Mbappé
On and off the pitch, the Frenchman seems to be going through a rather delicate period. If he totals 8 goals and 2 assists in 14 matches in all competitions, Mbappé is far from unanimous in Real Madrid and it became even more accentuated after the crushing defeat in the Clasico facing the FC Barcelona (0-4). The recent scandal launched by the Swedish press after his escapade in Stockholm, as well as the debates he was able to create in France during the international break, have in no way helped the situation.
“I think Vinicius and Mbappé cannot work together”
The observation is quite simple for Raymond Domenechsince according to him Kylian Mbappé will have a hard time shining… in the shadow of a certain Vinicius Jr ! « I think Vinicius and Mbappé cannot work together. One of them has to change » explained the former coach of theFrench teamaccording to Sports Radio. It must be said that the two stars have a fairly similar profile and in Spain, we wonder in particular why the Real Madrid did not recruit a real number 9, perhaps in place of the former PSG.
