Kylian Mbappé Can fulfill the prophecy
Mbappe's dream his entire life was to play for the white of Real Madrid. Real Madrid have expressed incredible frustrations over the last few years. There were more than a fair few opportunities for him to make the Real Madrid move earlier. Mbappe had two separate opportunities to make the move to Real Madrid. However, he waited until now. This is the dream of his life. He initially broke through at Monaco taking them to the title and into the Champions League semi-final. Heading into that season it was just 19 years old outside of those that follow France very closely, none of us really was aware of him until the Champions League. What we saw was this young kid coming into a Monaco side that was putting together quite a season for himself. He scored in every knockout round of the Champions League. Now Monaco had a much stronger team then as they do now. They dispatched pep guardiola's Manchester City on the way to a semi-final. He checked all the boxes necessary and looked to have the complete at the top level. Deep down we all were aware of what we were looking at. It didn't take very long for the vast majority of us to understand that. This wasn't some rising star that we had to watch over the next few years to see if they could become something. He came in that season with Monaco as a world-class player. Real Madrid seemed to be the landing spot for him. after he was going to leave Monaco. They were in the running but he opted to stay in France to play in his home city of Paris. Real Madrid's move did not materialize. He moved to PSG instead for 180 million. He joined a super-studded star-driven team that had big capabilities. After his first season in Paris, He won the World Cup in Russia. He became the youngest goal scorer in the World Cup final since Pele. His entire time at PSG he was on the verge of being universally regarded as the best player in the world. At times during his tenure, there was a little bit of turmoil. 3 years ago Mbappe was possibly going to be on the market for Real Madrid. He was going to either sign a new contract with PSG or make his dream move to Real Madrid. Real Madrid was willing to spend a lot of money. However, he did a U-turn taking a 3-year deal at PSG worth 150 million. This angered Real Madrid and a lot of the fan base insinuated that their dream of capturing him is over and they no longer are interested in that here. This past season mbappé decided to leave. PSG did not take this so well and had withheld 80 million that they owe to him. Real Madrid had an opening to finally pull this off. However, the Real Madrid that he was about to go to was a loaded deck. They had just won the Champions League. 3 days after they beat Dortmund in the Champions League final He signed for Real Madrid on a free contract had Real Madrid signed him a few years earlier. They would have had to pay upwards of 200 million. Mbappe recognized that this was the best time to make the move. He rejected two moves to Real Madrid prior to this, he wanted to build up and become more of a polished player before making the move. He always knew he had a dream of playing for Real Madrid. it just didn't come to fruition
The Perfect Timing & PSG Reflection
A lot of people will say it’s delayed timing, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. His 7-year stint in Paris with PSG was completely necessary. It allowed him to go through the disappointment, the adversity, and the complications. In Madrid, there is an expectation to win trophies every single season. They have one La Liga two of the last 3 years. & they have won the Champions League two of the last 3 years. Every step he took at PSG was completely necessary and important to persevere through before stepping up and making the move to Real Madrid. He had 30 goals a season for every season except his very first one. I criticized him because of his failure to live up in the big moments without Neymar. I thought that he reached his peak early however that turned out not to be the case. Neymar was the star when he got there Neymar was a problem for absolutely everyone. When Neymar was able to play a full season, PSG was unstoppable. Neymar and Mbappe didn't always get along. The young Frenchman displayed some level of immaturity, especially when it came to penalty discussions. He famously took a penalty off Neymar while arguing only to missed the penalty then on top of that they failed to win that particular game. There was some tension at the start however for the most part they got on well. Mbappe became much more mature and took advantage of the last couple years. they were together. Neymar is the best player that he's ever played with. My concern previously was he was going to waste it. Mbappe in the early years at PSG failed to score in The knockout stages at the Champions League. they got eliminated by Manchester United without Neymar he failed to score against Real Madrid he failed to score. There was a real issue with his ability to step up to the plate. In the 2020 Champions League final Neymar dragged PSG to the final persevering to every challenge in his way, every roadblock behind his shoulder. In the Champions League final Neymar put together a dazzling display went out of his way to get Mbappe in dangerous positions. The truth is that Champions League final turned out to be a horror show for Mbappe. This is the adversity he had to swim through. The very next season Neymar was injured. In the Round 16 against Barcelona. Mbappe answered the Bell and finally delivered as he scored a hat-trick away from home in Barcelona from that point forward, he became the best player in the world. He almost knocked out Real Madrid 3 years ago. He was leading PSG to the verge of knocking out Real Madrid only for PSG to choke it away. They have gone through multiple managers and mbappe ever since that Champions League final has been on a mission. Although he was criticized for his decision to sign a new deal at PSG considering the infrastructure of the French league. He was accused of just doing it for money. He signed a shorter term deal because he was preparing to build up and polish his skills to become the best player in the world and when that moment arrives he would make the move to the Real Madrid. He had to go through a lot of adversity and gone through a lot of difficult situations at PSG he came into Real Madrid as the final product. Those adversities and challenges were necessary. All of this came to fruition at the right time and this is definitely the right moment as Mbappe makes the big-time move to Real Madrid. He came into PSG as a rising star and he left as the best player in the world.
The New Galacticos
Last season Real Madrid conquered Europe for the second time in the last three seasons. They also captured La Liga in what was another dominant showing from Real Madrid. Carlo Angolotti Is by most accounts greatest manager in the history of football. Last season he won his fifth Champions League and his sixth league title with Mbappe now in town, Real Madrid Can take it to a whole nother stratosphere. Not to mention under Don Carlo, they are going to continue to win at the highest level possible. The trophy count will continue to go up at Real Madrid but on top of that. Don Carlo's position and argument as the greatest manager in football history will soon become undeniable. Barcelona certainly will try to respond with a number of signings of their own. However, it's clear that Real Madrid have just elevated into a whole different level altogether. Circumstances will change at Real Madrid. However, all the recent moves will only elevate them further. They won the Champions League last season despite their center forward being Joselu. He did pretty well for himself but the truth is Real Madrid lacked a center forward to take them across the top. They narrowly got by Manchester City and almost was knocked out by Bayern Munich. They were beatable last season it felt like last year was the best time to knock them down. Dortmund outplayed them in the final but regretted their previous chances before Vinicius Jr. the villain won them the Champions League. With the addition of Mbappe, we are looking at the most unstoppable Force. Toni Kroos has retired. However, they just resigned Modric for one more season. Still possess Valverde, Aurélien Tchouaméni, and Jude Bellingham in Midfield. Bellingham actually was the top scorer last season. He was forced to play more of an expansive attacking role of Midfield rather than the box-to-box role he played at Dortmund. I suspect his attacking numbers will go down with the various attacking players that will be more of a constant threat in the attacking phase than Jude Bellingham. He will still have a season that he will surely engineer 10 plus goals and assists. It's possible that he very well could score at a high level next season, however, he won't have the bearer responsibility to do so the way he did this past season. Arda Güler expecting an increased role after only playing 10 games last season. We saw what he did at the Euros with Turkey and his goal to game ratio with Real Madrid last year was still very impressive. Now, however, we are looking at a three-headed monster in the attack Mbappe, Vini Jr & Rodrygo. The most unstoppable unit that we will see next season. The reason I would describe this as the new galactagos Real Madrid have world class players in every single position. courtois will be back fully healthy for Real Madrid this season. then defensively Antonio rudiger, Dani Carvajal, David Alaba, Ferland Mendy & Éder Militão. In the Midfield I already mentioned Aurélien Tchouaméni, Valverde, Jude Bellingham, Luca Modric however, in addition to that they also have Camavinga coming off a great World Cup that is very versatile and can play as a fullback if necessary to add all that together The attack with Rodrigo, Vinicius Jr. best player in the world in mbappe. That's also not to mention what they can bring off the bench. This is the best team from top to bottom in Europe. The only teams that could possibly take their throne is Inter Milan, Manchester City, and Bayern Munich that's it with Mbappe they just catapulted into historic territory considering what they could go on to do this season. Mbappe is here. God have mercy on our souls.
