The highly anticipated transfer of Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid finally came to fruition this summer, as the French superstar signed a lucrative 5-year contract with the Spanish giants. After years of speculation, Mbappe has joined up with the reigning Champions League holders, creating excitement among fans about how he will be integrated into Real Madrid's formidable lineup.
Manager Carlo Ancelotti now has a wealth of attacking talent at his disposal, presenting both challenges and opportunities in terms of finding the optimal configuration. Let's take a closer look at how Real Madrid could line up with Mbappe in the squad.
The Expected Starting XI
The most likely starting lineup sees Mbappe slotting in as the central striker, with Karim Benzema shifting to a more withdrawn, creative role. Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo will provide the width on the flanks, giving Mbappe the freedom to operate in the channels and make runs in behind the defense.
