Kylian Mbappé returns to Real Madrid with a message that excites Madrid fans
Kylian Mbappé returned to Valdebebas to begin a new chapter with Real Madrid. The Frenchman spoke about Mourinho, recalled one of his most special moments in white and delivered a strong message about what he expects from the season ahead.
Kylian Mbappé is back fully focused on Real Madrid. After representing France at the 2026 World Cup, the forward returned to training with Los Blancos ready to begin a season that could prove decisive for the club’s project.
The Frenchman is heading into his third season as a Real Madrid player and acknowledged that returning to Valdebebas, reuniting with his teammates and getting back to the daily routine is one of those special moments at the start of every season.
Mourinho’s arrival changes the landscape
One of the biggest changes Mbappé found upon his return was José Mourinho, who is back at Real Madrid to lead the club’s new sporting project.
The French forward spoke very positively about the Portuguese coach’s arrival and highlighted his experience managing teams accustomed to competing for major honors.
For Mbappé, having a coach who knows the path to winning can provide the dressing room with important direction during a season in which expectations are once again extremely high.
A preseason to start from scratch
After joining up later because of his participation in the World Cup, Mbappé believes these weeks of preparation will be crucial to regain match fitness and absorb the ideas of the new coaching staff.
The forward insists Real Madrid must make the most of this period to work intensely before entering a season packed with commitments.
Collective ambition is now at the heart of his message: after his individual successes, the next challenge is to turn that level of performance into trophies for the team.
The challenge Mbappé has firmly in mind
But the Frenchman’s most important message was focused on what lies ahead.
Mbappé believes the time has come for Real Madrid to turn its ambitions back into trophies and showed complete confidence that the team can take a step forward this season.
“We’re going to win trophies this year,” the forward said in comments shared by the club’s official media channels.
The target has been set. Now, Mbappé and Mourinho’s new-look Real Madrid will have to prove it on the pitch.
