Real Madrid will have the most loaded attack in world football next season, and with all due respect to Manchester City, it won’t really even be close.
Kylian Mbappe and Endrick are both set to join a Real Madrid forward line that already includes Vinicius Jr., Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo Goes, Arda Guler, Joselu, and Brahim Diaz.
Those are two major attacking talents lining up alongside three legitimate world-class players, a great veteran striker, and two other exciting talents, giving Real Madrid a whopping eight potentially world-class attackers in the 2024/25 season.
With so many mouths to feed, there have naturally been concerns about how Kylian Mbappe will co-exist with the current stars of Real Madrid, particularly current starting forward pair Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo Goes.
According to MARCA, Kylian Mbappe does not care which position he plays and is simply happy to be a part of the Real Madrid squad in 2024.
This report matches the tone of Mbappe’s press conferences, because during his presser with the French national team, Mbappe specifically mentioned being humble upon his signing with Real Madrid.
Mbappe is going to do what Cristiano Ronaldo, his idol, did when he signed with Real Madrid in his prime from Manchester United; he is going to put the team first and start wherever he is asked to play.
It is no secret that Mbappe prefers playing on the left wing, as that is his best position. But it is also Vinicius Jr.’s best position, and Mbappe is better at other positions than Vini is at those positions.
Rodrygo already had to move to the right side of the attack to accommodate Vini Jr. for that very reason, bettering the team in the process and playing a vital role in two Champions League Triumphs.
Mbappe can be world-class at any of those three positions, which he has already proven time after time for Monaco, PSG, and France.
It would seem that starts in the middle should be there for the taking for Mbappe, with Vinicius Jr. and Rodrygo likely soaking up minutes on either side of the French superstar.
For anyone rambling about the idea of Mbappe disrupting the locker room or causing problems with the other superstars, reports like this affirm that these fears couldn’t be further from reality.
