Kylian Mbappe finally revealed his move to Real Madrid before the start of the EUROs this summer, but plans will now be put into place by Carlo Ancelotti surrounding how he can get the best out of the Frenchman, along with the array of world-class stars in the forward line at the Bernabeu. 

But what lies ahead of the Frenchman in Spain this season, and how could Ancelotti get the very best out of the superstar?

Mbappe Looks Set For Seamless Transition

Signing for one of the world’s biggest clubs can often take a period of transition, but Mbappe will not be afforded that luxury as one of the best-paid players on the planet. However, there has been no evidence throughout his career to suggest that he is anything other than ready to take this next step in his career with one of the world’s most famous teams.

The Frenchman transitioned to life in Paris with very few issues, netting an impressive 21 goals in 44 games during his initial loan spell at the club before signing permanently. Mbappe’s scoring record in Ligue 1 speaks for itself, as he has netted at least 30 goals across all competitions in each of the last six seasons. 

He also arrives in Madrid off the back of his most productive season in a PSG shirt after registering 44 goals in just 48 matches. Continuing that scoring sequence will be the biggest challenge when he kickstarts his La Liga career next month.

Where Will he Play?

Millions have asked the question surrounding where Mbappe fits into this Madrid side. The Frenchman was typically at his best when playing off the left-hand side of a forward three at PSG, but he is unlikely to occupy that spot for Los Blancos following yet another excellent season by Vinicius Jr. It’s unlikely that Ancelotti will switch the Brazilian to the right, meaning that Mbappe will likely be forced to play down the middle.

However, Madrid could opt to field a fluid forward three with Mbappe, Vinicius Jr., and Rodrygo, given their freedom to roam across the field as they please. 

However, a fluid formation could have drawbacks during the season's opening months, as the three forwards have no previous experience playing alongside each other. Therefore, we wouldn’t be surprised to see Mbappe played as an out-and-out number nine at the start of the season, a position that, while the player doesn't enjoy, he does have a proven record at international level in.

Exciting time for La Liga

The 2024-25 season marks the start of an exciting period in La Liga, with Real Madrid now boasting one of the most lethal forward lines in world football. After winning the Champions League with Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Jr, and Rodrygo, the additions of Mbappe and Endrick only enhance the quality of their options at the top end of the pitch. Given that all stars are still young, there is now a real sense that Los Blancos could be set to dominate for years on the field.

It will also have a huge marketing appeal for the competition, with not just Real, but all clubs set to benefit from the star-power being brought to the Spanish top-flight. Following Spain’s win at the EUROs, there is a real sense that the nation is nearing its dominant era once again, meaning that there has never been a better time to be following the action in La Liga.

While Real Madrid will be the outstanding selection to win the La Liga title this season, football bettors can get closer to the action by making selections with 22bet.ug on all fixtures throughout the 2024-25 season.
