Kylian Mbappe’s move to Real Madrid adds to an already burgeoning strikeforce of Vinicius Junior, Rodryo, Jude Bellingham and the soon-to-arrive Endrick.

So where does Mbappe fit in? Liam Tharme argues that with Carlo Ancelotti as manager Real Madrid with all their superstars is the perfect place for Mbappe to reach his potential.

Marco Bevilacqua illustrates.

  1. 'History suggests that Ancelotti will find a solution', 'How they line up remains to be seen'… This video barely tells us anything, certainly nothing close to what the title suggests. It very briefly highlights the tactical issues that his signing causes but also not enough to really pose interesting questions. It very well could work out but this video does not really address that at all apart from a few platitudes.

  2. I question Real Madrid's creativity from Midfield. Kroos and Modric were the deadliest pivot for much of a decade. At times it felt like a having a 10 was unnecessary due to the 2 being able to do dogwork and cunduct the midfield. I'm curious how will their midfield do without them

  3. I THINK DANI CEBALLOS MIGHT STEP IN TO PERFORM THE WORK OF KROOS, HE IS NOT ON KROOS LEVEL BUT HE HAS THE CHARACTERISTICS OF CONTROLLING THE BALL THAN CAMAVINGA,VALVERDE AND TCHOUAMENI.WE HAVE A MIDFIELD PROBLEM AFTER KROOS LEFT BECAUSE THE OTHER MIDFIELDERS APART FROM JUDE ARE NOT TACTICAL AND TECHNICAL

  4. TO BALANCE THE MIDFIELD, THIS IS WHAT THE MANAGER HAS TO DO .BECAUSE WE DON'T HAVE KROOS.

    CARVAJAL,MILITAO,RUDIGER,MENDY

    DANI CEBALLOS/VALVERDE,TCHOUMANEI,BELLINGHAM, MODRIC/ VALVERDE

    MBAPPE, VINICIOUS.

  5. 4-2-3-1 with Modric in a double pivot would leave Madrid’s defence brutally exposed.
    I think Ancelotti will try a 4-3-3 in attack and 4-4-2 without the ball.

  6. I just want him along with the main components of the team to not have any long term injuries, we finally have someone who's an elite finisher and will draw defenders away from rodrygo and especially vinicius.

  7. Now, Champions league would be all about Real Madrid. Like how Bayern Munich dominter Bundusliga for 12 years.

    Champions League and La Liga would just become boring , they might as well just hand over the troies to Real as I dont see anyone else winning it.

  8. Real Madrid plays real football not these days modern strict position football that every coach are adapting to football becomes soo boring to watch no dribbles no more skills tricks step over long range shoot
