Two shots and one pass in the warm-up match! Wearing No. 10 is the core! Mbappe will carry the flag in the second year

The only official warm-up match before the new season of Real Madrid, Mbappe was fully fired. Facing Austrian team Wattens, Mbappe, who was wearing Legend No. 10, contributed two goals and one assist, helping the team win 4-0. This state makes Real Madrid fans look forward to the new season.

This summer is very different for Mbappe from previous years. In the past few transfer windows, his name was always tied to various rumors, which caused a lot of controversy. But this year, he enjoyed a rare three weeks of vacation completely away from football. This "calmness" seems to have become the source of energy for his explosion in the new season.

In his first season with Real Madrid, Mbappe spoke with his strength and handed over a report card of 44 goals in 59 games, breaking the club's newcomer record and being elected as the best season in the team. Such performance also made Real Madrid senior executives and coach Alonso firmly determined to put him as the core. In the new season, he not only took over the No. 10 jersey left by Modric, but also locked in the penalty kick and his status was self-evident.

Interestingly, although Real Madrid's data seemed to be "converging" than the Paris period (slightly lower goals per game), looking at the efficiency in depth, he averaged nearly 1 goal (0.96 goals) in the Champions League, which even exceeded Ronaldo's Champions League data at Real Madrid in the same period. Role change is the key: in Paris, he is the absolute core starting point, while in Real Madrid, he focuses more on ending. However, the new coach Alonso plans to try a two-forward striker, which may make Mbappe's firepower stronger.

Mbappe has a long-term goal. He aims at the 2026 World Cup. Staying on a top platform like Real Madrid is the key to maintaining the best competitive state.

Although his personal data is impressive, Real Madrid's four major numbers last season were gone. In the new season, Mbappe's goals are clear: league and Champions League championships. This is the key to becoming the Golden Globe Award. The 2026 Champions League final will be held in Hungary. Mbappe, who wears the No. 10 jersey, is not just a super scorer now, but also has to bear the responsibility of organizing the organization in the frontcourt. The assist given to Rodrigo in the warm-up match has already seen his progress in this regard. In the new season, can this new leader of Real Madrid who has returned from a peaceful summer vacation lead the team to achieve their goals?
