August 18, (THEWILL) – Kylian Mbappe is making his La Liga debut for Real Madrid against Real Mallorca on Sunday. The French forward was selected to start by coach Carlo Ancelotti, marking his first league appearance for the Spanish champions.
Mbappe joined Real Madrid this summer after his contract with Paris Saint-Germain ended, fulfilling his long-held desire to play for the club. The 25-year-old striker has already made an impact, scoring in his first match for Madrid during their UEFA Super Cup victory over Atalanta in Warsaw on Wednesday.
For the opening league fixture, Mbappe will lead the attack alongside Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo. English midfielder Jude Bellingham will provide support from the midfield, completing a formidable offensive lineup for Real Madrid’s 2024/2025 La Liga campaign opener.
The arrival of Mbappe at Real Madrid has generated significant excitement among fans and pundits alike. His partnership with established stars like Vinicius Junior and the addition of Bellingham signal Real Madrid’s intent to dominate both domestic and European competitions this season and in seasons to come.
Real Madrid, the reigning Spanish champions, are looking to start their title defence strongly with a win at Real Mallorca. With Mbappe now in their ranks, the club’s supporters are eager to see how the team’s new attacking force will perform in La Liga.
