Carlo Ancelotti was delighted with the squad he has at the moment, although the market is still open and reinforcements could still arrive. The Italian was full of praise for Kylian Mbappe, who he described as an “extraordinary talent”.

A day before Kylian Mbappe’s debut in La Liga, his coach Carlo Ancelotti highlighted the French striker’s “humility” on his arrival in the Real Madrid dressing room, and the desire of the entire club, coaching staff and players to help him adapt quickly.

“An extraordinary talent has arrived and we have to help him adapt as quickly as possible. The truth is that he has entered the dressing room very well, very serious, with humility and he has started very well,” he praised at a press conference at Madrid’s training complex.

In this work with Mbappe, he wanted to extend the work to all those who shape the team so that the Frenchman feels at home from day one. “It’s not just with him, it happens with all the new players at Real Madrid. We try to make them feel comfortable, the club, the technical staff and the players.”

In his first game in a Real Madrid shirt, Mbappe connected well with his new strike partners. “For the first time he played alongside Vinicius, Rodrygo and Bellingham and I don’t think they showed any difficulty in combining,” he said.

“Good players find each other because they have spark, the idea to move and play with quality. I don’t need to try to get them more used to it, they are already used to playing together,” he defended.
