4 things that make Real Madrid worry about Mbappe
The blockbuster deal of Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid has finally come true after 2 years of speculation.
The French superstar is known for his incredible goalscoring ability and impressive achievements in his career at both club and international level. Now, Kylian Mbappe will wear the iconic white shirt of one of the world’s most famous teams.
Mbappe has been playing for his dream team.
Mbappe has landed the club of his dreams, while Real Madrid have got the player they craved, cementing their status as the world’s top club. But they must also realise that Mbappe’s arrival comes with some significant risks and challenges.
1. Mbappe’s form at EURO 2024
First, let’s look at Mbappe’s recent form. He hasn’t been at his usual high standards at EURO 2024. Mbappe only scored one goal, a penalty, and provided two assists during the tournament. That’s not enough for a player of his calibre.
Mbappe’s performances have raised concerns about his form and fitness and whether the French star will immediately adapt to shine at Real Madrid?
2. Player of big matches
Mbappe has won the World Cup, multiple Ligue 1 titles and individual awards. But the one thing to note for Real is his ability to shine in big games.
Mbappe has been impressive for France in the last two World Cup finals, but there have been some key games where he has been lacklustre. In last season’s UEFA Champions League semi-final first leg against Barcelona, he failed to make much of an impact.
In Mbappe’s seven years at PSG, they have only reached the Champions League semi-finals twice and the final once, and have been eliminated in the round of 16 the other four times. While this is a team-wide problem, it is clear that more is expected of Mbappe.

The pressure at Real is huge.
3. Is Mbappe suitable for Real Madrid?
Another significant concern is how Mbappe will fit into Real’s current squad, which already has plenty of attacking talent, including Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo, Endrick, Brahim Diaz, Arda Guler and Jude Bellingham.
Last season, Bellingham’s arrival forced manager Carlo Ancelotti to adapt his squad to accommodate the England midfielder. The Italian succeeded, but adding a striker like Mbappe could complicate matters.
4. Psychology
Another important factor to consider is the psychological aspect. The expectations at Real Madrid are huge. The club has a long history of legendary players, with extremely high standards.
Mbappe will be well aware of the comparisons to past greats and the pressure to produce outstanding performances from day one. The Madridista faithful, known for their passion and sometimes harsh judgement, will demand nothing less than excellence from their new star.
