Real Madrid is very confident that the signing of Kylian Mbappe will help them a lot in the upcoming season, as the French star has been one of the best players in the world for the past few years. Mbappé has become a legend at Paris Saint Germain after becoming the top goalscorer of the club’s history and has become an icon in French football already since he won the World Cup at 19 years old in 2018 and reached another World Cup final four years later, in 2022.
Kylian Mbappé was presented by Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu last week and but before that he took a medical test. He impressed the doctors at the club and they were surprised to know that Mbappé’s physical condition is still very high after the EUROS.
Mbappé played 48 matches for PSG across all competitions this postseason and then went on to play with France at EURO 2024. His nose injury does not require surgery anymore, according to the doctors of Real Madrid. Mbappé had no muscle fatigue and strengthened his body by 200%. His body may get stronger thanks to Real Madrid’s physical training coach, Antonio Pintus.
According to Diario AS, Antonio Pintus has designed a ‘Cristiano Ronaldo style’ program to get Mbappé to the best shape possible. Mbappé is already one of the fastest players in the world, and now he could improve his physicality by getting stronger. Real Madrid will play up to 7 competitions this upcoming season, and Pintus has already planned tough preseason physical exercises to have them ready.
Mbappé is not part of the US pre-season tour for Real Madrid. The French star is recovering and enjoying his vacation after a long season with PSG and his intense campaign with France at the EUROS. Mbappé played in five matches for France at the EUROS, where they reached the semi finals but lost 2-1 to Spain. Mbappé scored one goal and provided one assist at the European Championship.
