Kylian Mbappe Shines on Real Madrid Debut, Declares “No Limit” to Success.
Kylian Mbappe made an instant impact on his Real Madrid debut, scoring the decisive goal against Atalanta to secure a record sixth UEFA Super Cup for the Spanish giants. The France captain, who completed his much-anticipated move from Paris Saint-Germain this summer, wasted no time in showcasing his talent, finding the back of the net just 70 minutes into his first appearance for the club.
Reflecting on his debut, Mbappe expressed his excitement and ambition for the future with his new team. “It was a great night – I’ve been waiting for this moment for a long time,” Mbappe told Movistar in fluent Spanish. “To play with this shirt, with this badge, for these fans, it’s a gift for me.”
With an already star-studded line-up that includes Vinicius Jr, Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo, and Endrick, Real Madrid’s acquisition of Mbappe – widely regarded as one of the best attacking players in the world – only bolsters their squad as they embark on the new season. Mbappe emphasised the team’s potential, stating, “We are at Real Madrid, we have no limit. If I can score 50, then 50, but the most important thing is winning and improving as a team, because we will win as a team.”
Mbappe’s seamless integration into the team was praised by both his teammates and manager Carlo Ancelotti. England midfielder Jude Bellingham, who also played a crucial role in the victory, said, “He’s just one of those players, he’s brilliant. So sharp. So much technical quality. A great team-mate as well. He works for the team, like the rest of the lads. Credit to him, and he deserves it tonight.”
Ancelotti echoed these sentiments, highlighting Mbappe’s adaptability and his effective combination play with Vinicius Jr and Bellingham. “Mbappe did really well. He adapted well to the team. He combined well with Vinícius Jr and with Bellingham. Of course, we have a lot of quality, but we have to play together and we did that tonight,” Ancelotti told TNT Sports.
As Real Madrid looks ahead to the new campaign, the addition of Mbappe has set a promising tone, with the club and its fans eager for more success on both domestic and international stages.
