Kylian Mbappé reveals his biggest challenge during his first months at Real Madrid

Star forward Kylian Mbappé has opened up about the difficulties he faced adapting to life at Real Madrid early in his career with the "royal club."

Quote. "I was humble during my first few months at Real, not shy exactly... When you join Real Madrid, a team that has won everything imaginable, you don’t just show up and tell the other players: ‘Hey, give me the ball.’ That’s not how things work here.

My issue was that I overthought things during the first games — where to move, which zone to occupy. It’s part of the adaptation process... But when you overthink, you play worse," Mbappé told Fabrizio Romano.

Reminder. The 26-year-old Mbappé has scored 17 goals and provided 3 assists in 29 appearances for Real across all competitions.

In addition. Real Madrid’s head coach Carlo Ancelotti recently dismissed rumors suggesting he plans to leave the club next summer.
