Real Madrid striker Kylian Mbappé is already counting down the days until the new season kicks off. The French forward shared a post on his Instagram page to mark the end of preseason.
Mbappé posted several photos from Innsbruck, Austria, including shots from the friendly against Tirol, captioned with the straightforward message: "Preseason is over. Can’t wait to start. ¡HalaMadrid!"
It's clear the French striker has fully recovered and recharged after the previous campaign and is now ready for the challenges ahead.
Mbappé delivered a stellar performance in the match against Tirol, netting a brace. The final score of the friendly against the Austrians: 0-4 in favor of Real Madrid.
Real Madrid will kick off their La Liga campaign on August 19 with a home fixture against Osasuna.
As a reminder, this offseason Mbappé changed his squad number—from the No. 9 he wore last season to the No. 10 shirt, which became available after Luka Modrić's departure.
