After UEFA Euro 2024 ended last month, Real Madrid's new sensation, Kylian Mbappe, made his first-ever appearance to the team for training in readiness for their UEFA Super Cup game against Atalanta on August 14. On social media, the French forward posted pictures from his first day at his new office after he landed in Madrid after his well-deserved break from football.

Mbappe has rapidly turned his attention back to his new club responsibilities even though France was ousted by Spain in the semi-finals of the Euros and Kylian Mbappe’s performance in the Euros was not impressive. Soon Real Madrid will be back in action, with the French star scheduled to make his debut in the venerable white jersey.

Having his contract with PSG expired last season, the 25-year-old signed with Real Madrid after years of transfer saga. Once worn by his idol Cristiano Ronaldo and his former French teammate Karim Benzema upon his joining Real Madrid from Manchester United in 2009, he has taken the number 9 shirt.

Kylian Mbappe was seen on X interacting amiably with French colleagues Aurelien Tchouameni and Ferland Mendy, as well as manager Carlo Ancelotti.

He was also pictured with Jude Bellingham, who had recently returned to Madrid following guiding England to the Euros final but losing to Spain. 

Real Madrid will arguably be the strongest team in the world with Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Jr., and more stars. It is important to note that Los Blancos are the defending champions of La Liga and the UEFA Champions League. They will continue for the same glory with the newly added forward, who eyes his first-ever Ballon d’Or with the best club in Europe.
