Is It happening? Mbappe Finally to Real Madrid!

The 25-year-old Kylian Mbappe can give Real Madrid a very scary attack line if he joins the Los Blancos. On the other hand, PSG's ace striker presence could damage the collaboration of the attacking trio for the 2023/2024 season. Carlo Ancelotti has succeeded in finding a new formula on Real Madrid's front line in the 2023/2024 season and the veteran head coach responded well to Karim Benzema's decision to move to Al Ittihad.

Ancelotti played Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior as centre forwards behind them, there is Jude Bellingham. The current La Liga table toppers Madrid with a 4-4-2 (diamond) or 4-3-1-2 formation and they play quite well with this formation. Both the Brazilian strikers Vinicius and Rodrygo have a good connection and they have a good relationship on and off the field. The Englishman Bellingham adapted quickly and performed well.

The connection and way of working of the trio of Vinicius, Rodrygo and Bellingham is increasingly unified. They play a key role in Real Madrid's good performance, both in La Liga and the 2023/2024 Champions League. However, the presence of 2018 World Cup winner Mbappe might impact the trio since it is difficult to imagine or even impossible for the 25-year-old star forward to come to Real Madrid to sit on the bench.

Rodrygo is the player most likely to lose his place in the starting XI and if Real Madrid continues to play with a 4-4-2 diamond formation, Mbappe might replace Rodrygo in the top fixtures but it all depends on the possibility of the match they play against. On the other hand, Mbappe and Vinicius' playing styles are somewhat similar both tend to start movements from the left side of the attack area.

Carlo Ancelotti is a coach with a lot of flying experience, the 64-year-old veteran coach certainly has many options to be able to integrate Kylian Mbappe well at Real Madrid, without any player feeling like a victim. Ancelotti will probably think of a situation that allows Vinicius, Rodrygo and Bellingham to remain in the starting XI even though Mbappe comes to Real Madrid. This will be a very interesting and frightening combination for opponents. Madrid can have high explosive power in the attack line. However, Madrid also has to be extra vigilant because the defensive abilities of these four players are not good enough. So, Ancelotti must find the right balance.
