Barcelona –
The long-awaited transfer of Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid this summer has only solidified their status as frontrunners to retain La Liga. Even without Mbappe, the club was already considered a strong contender, but with his addition to a roster that includes talents like Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham, Madrid is positioned to continue their dominance in Spanish soccer.
Mbappe made an impressive start to his Real Madrid career, debuting on Wednesday and scoring in a 2-0 victory over Atalanta to claim the UEFA Super Cup. His arrival has only heightened the expectations for Madrid, causing concern among their rivals Barcelona and Atletico Madrid.
