Real will again have a formidable trio of forwards comprising Vinicius, Mbappe and Bellingham. For Madrid’s supporters, it is a similar attack which parallels that of Bale, Benzema and Cristiano. Even without the fearsome trio of BBC, Madrid has managed to win the coveted Champions League Trophy. Now, with the addition of Mbappe, the set of Galacticos seems complete once again.
But time will only tell whether Mbappe’s move to his boyhood dream club finally led to his dream of winning the Champions League and the Ballon d’Or. For now, Los Blancos will begin their title defence as they face off against Real Mallorca in their season opener at the La Liga. The new season begins from August 17-18.
