Mbappé Opens up about Real Madrid's Changing Room after Four Months: 'Everyone...'

Bondy's attacker reveals how Santiago Bernabéu's changing room works from the inside

The big questions raised by Kylian Mbappé's arrival at Real Madrid in the 2024 summer was his possible fit into a united team. The cohesion achieved between Carlo Ancelotti's men, without the '9' Meringue, was ideal... and his iruption could change that.

Time has shown that this theory, defended by some, hasn't had much success. Because, despite not meeting many expectations in terms of sporting performance, the French has slowly entered the dynamics of the first team in four months.

The best examples of this trend are on the field. The latest and perhaps most illustrative of all is the assist that Vinícius gave to Bondy's attacker in the Intercontinental Cup final . After his great play, including a bicycle kick over the Pachuca goalkeeper, the Meringue '7' didn't look for the goal.

Instead of shooting at goal, a plausible option, he decided to take advantage of those efforts and give the goal to a Kylian Mbappé, who didn't forgive with an empty goal. With the passing of time, Mbappé's integration improves and creates moments that wouldn't otherwise occur.

It's one more

Everyone in Santiago Bernabéu locker room knows that he is one of the best players in the world. That's why they are happy to share space, both on and off the field, with him. For this reason they have facilitated his inclusion in as many dynamics as possible from the beginning, as the French striker himself has recently revealed in his country.

"I left to go to the biggest club in the world, it was the only club I would leave PSG for. If I hadn't gone to Real Madrid, I would have stayed at PSG for a lifetime." That's a confession that shows his willingness to risk everything to wear the white jersey.

Kylian Mbappé confesses that "my dream was to go to Real Madrid, the biggest club in the world." He also acknowledges that his integration into the locker room has been "very easy. I arrived very calmly, very humbly, and my teammates have done everything to integrate me well."

"The locker room is fantastic, there are very good people there. Everyone made me feel at home and I already feel at home, and I've just arrived." It's clear that Mbappé has 'fallen on his feet' on a personal level with his new teammates at Real Madrid, something that the '9' of Real Madrid can't hide.
