After a tumultuous start to his stint with Real Madrid, French striker Kylian Mbappe has finally found his footing in the team with an impressive run of form. Despite being a World Cup winner and one of the most decisive players in the world, the 26-year-old initially struggled to integrate himself into Carlo Ancelotti's system. However, a crucial missed penalty and the support of his coach have turned things around for Mbappe, who is now settled in the team and playing with confidence.
When Real Madrid faced a defensive crisis, the unexpected solution came in the form of midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni. Despite being unfamiliar with the position, the Frenchman stepped up and helped secure 11 victories and four draws in his 15 matches as a centre-back. His impressive stats have earned praise from manager Carlo Ancelotti, showcasing Tchouameni's commitment and adaptability for the team's success.

Real Madrid's head coach Carlo Ancelotti also received an award at the ceremony, stating that football has given him "a lot of emotions" throughout his 48-year-long career.

In a crucial La Liga match against Rayo Vallecano, Real Madrid found themselves 2-0 down and without star player Kylian Mbappé due to injury. But thanks to the impressive form of Jude Bellingham, who scored a late first-half goal and set up another, Real battled back to win 3-2. Bellingham's recent run of six goals and three assists in six La Liga games has been crucial for Carlo Ancelotti's team, proving that they can still thrive without their top players.
Real Madrid's star attacker Kylian Mbappe's left-thigh injury ruled him out of their upcoming La Liga match against Rayo Vallecano. However, he is set to travel with the team to Qatar for the Intercontinental Cup final, where they will face either Pachuca or Al Ahly. Mbappe's recent form has been impressive, but Ancelotti insisted that they will not take any risks with his fitness. In positive news, fellow French teammate Eduardo Camavinga has recovered from his hamstring injury and is available for selection. Real Madrid's defensive ace David Alaba, however, is still on the road to recovery.
Real Madrid star Kylian Mbappe could potentially return for the team's match against Rayo Vallecano after being forced off with a muscle overload during their Champions League match against Atalanta BC. While there was initial concern for his fitness, manager Carlo Ancelotti has stated that it was just an overload issue and Mbappe could potentially be available for selection. With Real Madrid currently sitting in second place in the La Liga table, two points behind leaders Barcelona, Mbappe's potential return would be a boost for the team's chances of continuing their winning streak.
Atalanta, currently the reigning champions of the Europa League, face a major test against Real Madrid as they continue their impressive form in the Champions League. With a nine-game win streak and sitting at the top of the Serie A table, Atalanta have proven themselves to be a formidable force in European football. Meanwhile, Real Madrid have struggled this season and will need to up their game as they currently sit at the bottom of their Champions League table. This clash will be a true testament to Atalanta's potential in the league phase, especially as they have already faced and lost to Real Madrid in the UEFA Super Cup earlier this season.
After a successful season in La Liga and the Champions League, Real Madrid's European title defence is looking bleak. Manager Carlo Ancelotti has stated that the team is unlikely to make it to the top eight in the Champions League and will have to fight through a two-legged knockout round to advance. This comes as a shock after their previous dominating performances, raising concerns for the future of the team.
