Kylian Mbappé is back in the squad for Real Madrid ahead of today’s clash against Real Oviedo, with the French superstar determined to finish the season strongly despite a disappointing campaign in Spain.
Mbappé had recently missed matches due to fitness concerns, but the forward has now returned at a crucial stage of the season. The 26-year-old wants to regain full rhythm and sharpness before the upcoming FIFA World Cup, which remains his biggest target in the coming months.
Sources close to the player suggest Mbappé is fully focused on reaching peak condition. Even though Real Madrid’s season has ended without major silverware, the French captain is not planning to slow down. Instead, he wants regular minutes in the final games to build momentum before joining the national team.
The season has not gone as expected for Real Madrid. The club failed to dominate both domestically and in Europe, while pressure increased on several senior stars throughout the campaign.
Mbappé’s arrival last summer was expected to begin a new era at the Santiago Bernabéu, but the team struggled to convert expectations into trophies.
Despite the disappointment, Mbappé’s individual performances still attracted attention. His pace, movement, and goals remained important for Madrid in difficult moments during the season.
