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.

They will win treble mark my words
It's France ligue so take that in prosptiv
Ah yes, good ol' RAIL Madrid 😊
The potential in this club in so scary 🤯
But pep won messi 4 balon dors didn't he?
'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.
First good Tifo Video in a while
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
Am I the only one who has been waiting for this video 🤞😩
This is the type of video I’ve been missing from Tifo in what feels like years
He fits well, Madrid and Ancelotti has no tactics
Same formation as last year. The only switch being Rodrygo is benched for Mbappe.
Tifo fell off
You can give him a name of any player and a club, he will make a video regarding how the player is perfect for that club…
England didn't really lose part 2 when?
You have no idea, no way Modric is starting 🤣🤣🤣🤣 He's 39, we have Camavinga and Tchouameni.
no one thinks he doesn't fit. crazies yelling on Twitter should be taken just as seriously as a rambling of a street side lunatic
I prefer you talking about history, economic models of football and rules.when you talk tactics and how teams might play,u always talk garbage

It’s gonna be a 433 and 4231 when we want to use a cam which is Brahmin or arda.
😊
Summary of video
Madrid no striker
Jude Bellingham become striker but actually cm
Sign mbappe
Play Bellingham in natural position
Weird line up. Modric aint starting. Tchouameni is!!
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
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.
he is really gonna miss toni kroos.
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.
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.
Did someone say podcast?
Hope he plays as a CF, he is Thierry Henry & Ronaldo 9. Mbappé is the new🐐
Too stacked.
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.
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
where u playing enrick
that mf is overrated as a mf
No pressing from Mbappé though
Mbappe the best footballer in the world ❤️
