Kylian Mbappe Makes Santiago Bernabeu Debut

Kylian Mbappe is set to make his highly anticipated Santiago Bernabeu debut for Real Madrid against Real Valladolid on Sunday, following a draw in their La Liga opener against Mallorca. Coach Carlo Ancelotti expressed confidence in Mbappe's performance, predicting it will be a 'beautiful day' for the French star, who has generated significant excitement among the fans. However, Ancelotti also acknowledged that the team has struggled with balance, particularly with several attackers preferring the left side, which has led to tactical challenges. Despite this, he remains optimistic about finding solutions to improve the team's dynamics. Jude Bellingham is expected to miss the match due to a calf injury sustained in training, which adds another layer of complexity to Madrid's lineup. Ancelotti emphasized the importance of addressing these issues as they prepare to defend their titles from last season.
