Kylian Mbappé and Real Madrid squad transition

Overview

Kylian Mbappé has returned to training at Real Madrid’s Valdebebas facility following the 2026 World Cup. Ahead of the new La Liga campaign, Mbappé expressed optimism regarding the era under manager José Mourinho, describing the coach as a technician who knows the path to success. “It is very positive to have a coach like Mourinho, who knows how to win, who knows how to give direction to do that,” Mbappé stated, adding, “We will win titles this year.” In Mourinho’s first home game since his return, Real Madrid secured a 4-1 victory against Real Sociedad at the Santiago Bernabéu, where Mbappé scored a hat-trick to lead the La Liga scoring charts. However, the team is also working to recover from a 0-1 loss to Real Betis, a match in which Mourinho voiced frustration regarding a penalty decision involving Mbappé. Real Madrid recently opened their UEFA Champions League league phase campaign with a 2-1 victory over Inter Milan at the Santiago Bernabéu. Mbappé opened the scoring in the 14th minute, marking his 71st goal in the competition and tying him with Raúl González. Federico Valverde doubled the lead in the 23rd minute after capitalizing on errors by Inter Milan players. While Carlos Augusto scored a late consolation goal for Inter, Real Madrid held on to secure the three points. Despite the win, the performance drew criticism. Manager José Mourinho expressed concerns regarding the team’s lack of control and failure to follow tactical instructions to maintain possession. Additionally, some fans voiced dissatisfaction by whistling stars Kylian Mbappé and Vinícius Jr during the match. Following the victory, Mbappé reiterated that winning the Champions League is his primary goal, stating he wants it ‘more than anything’ because he is playing for his dream club.
