Real Madrid Gears Up for the New Season
Real Madrid has entered the final phase of their preparations for the 2024/25 season, which kicks off with a high-stakes UEFA Super Cup clash against Atalanta. Fresh off their US pre-season tour, the reigning Spanish and European champions returned to Madrid, ready to fine-tune their strategies for the upcoming campaign.
Mbappé’s First Training Session: A Promising Start
Among the returning players was the club’s marquee new signing, Kylian Mbappé, who had been on an extended vacation following his international duties, including a grueling season with PSG and a deep run at UEFA Euro 2024. Mbappé’s first-ever training session with Real Madrid took place at Valdebebas, where he made an immediate impression.
Pintus Pleased with Mbappé’s Physical Condition
According to reports from French outlet L’Equipe, Real Madrid’s fitness trainer Antonio Pintus was particularly impressed with Mbappé’s physical condition. Despite the exhausting previous season, Mbappé returned in top shape, much to the satisfaction of Pintus, who had designed a rigorous training program for the French star during his break. This program was aimed at ensuring that Mbappé retained his explosiveness and was ready to contribute to the team immediately.
Eyes on the UEFA Super Cup
With the UEFA Super Cup against Atalanta just around the corner, Mbappé is expected to make his Real Madrid debut in this crucial fixture. Manager Carlo Ancelotti has reportedly already begun planning how to integrate the 2018 FIFA World Cup winner into the lineup, as Real Madrid aims to start their season with a significant victory.
Mbappé’s promising start in training sets the stage for what could be a sensational debut, as he looks to make an immediate impact on his new team and help them continue their winning ways.
