So, is Kylian Mbappe adapting well to Real Madrid? I’m here to tell you that you have nothing to worry about, Mbappe is doing just fine, and here are some numbers that back that up.

What Has Kylian Mbappe Done at Real Madrid?

1. Break Records

In 2009, 80.000 people gathered at Santiago Bernabeu to welcome Cristiano Ronaldo, Real Madrid’s newest superstar. Before that, the attendance record for a player introduction was the 70.000 fans who welcomed Diego Maradona to Napoli.

Well, Kylian Mbappe joined CR7 atop the chart because over 80.000 fans showed up to welcome him on July 16, 2024. And you know what that means, right? A huge figure in terms of t-shirt sales!

In fact, even before landing in Madrid, Mbappe’s No. 9 t-shirt broke all records. Usually, the waiting time for an item’s arrival is 3-4 days. Thanks to Mbappe, Real Madrid’s website had to publish a statement changing that to 4-6 weeks. The demand was simply too much.

According to El Chiringuito, Spain’s top soccer TV program, 7.000 shirts with Mbappe’s No. 9 were sold in one day through the team’s website. In comparison, Mbappe’s shirt outsold Jude Bellingham’s by 450%.

Summing up, it doesn’t matter if Real Madrid loses all the titles, Los Blancos already won.

2. Win the UEFA Super Cup

Believe it or not, Mbappe spent seven seasons at PSG and never won a continental title. He almost won the UCL in 2020 but the Parisians ended up losing the final against Bayern Munich.

However, the French striker managed to win a continental title in his first game with Real Madrid. That’s right, Mbappe and Los Blancos won the last edition of the UEFA Super Cup after beating Atalanta 2-0.

As if that weren’t enough, Mbappe scored the opener. Yes! He scored in his first game with the Spanish side. In other words, it was as if Hollywood had written a script and selected him to play it.

The UEFA Super Cup was the first of seven titles that Real Madrid could win at the end of the season. And yes, with Mbappe leading the way, Los Blancos are the online betting favorites at every tournament. For example, they’re -200 to win the La Liga title, +200 to win the Copa del Rey, and +350 to win the UCL. Regarding the continental tournament, only Manchester City is ahead of them at +200.
