While it may seem like a new format, the outcome hardly anyone would bet against. Already, with 15-time winners Real Madrid’s Champions League prospects already looking formidable look strong enough to make them the most dangerous side in Europe after acquiring superstar striker Kylian Mbappe. Read on to know the full details about Kylian Mbappe enhancing holders Real Madrid’s Champions League Ambitions: In the opening week, Stuttgart from Germany will be taking on this year’s Champions League holders at Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday. Last season’s final played at Wembley saw Madrid secure its sixth title within eleven years by beating Borussia Dortmund. Although Carlo Ancelotti who boasts five wins is yet to find an ideal way to exploit Mbappe’s full potential, this will happen soon enough. On Saturday in La Liga against Real Sociedad, he arguably put forth his best performance for the club as he scored one goal and assisted Vinicius Junior while raging down the pitch with his characteristic speed. From that penalty spot he converted last Saturday’s match, now he is anxious about making his debut in Read Madrid’s Champions League clad all in a pristine white outfit. “It will be very important for me — as I said on the first day, I came to Madrid to live these types of nights,” stated the striker. I am focused on what needs to be done because the Champions League is a different league with new opponents, and we need to win to get off to a good start.” This new arrangement means that Madrid will now play away ties against Liverpool and home ties against Dortmund, the team they defeated in the 2022 final. Stuttgart comes first, carrying on Los Blancos’ run of German opponents following their matchup with Bayern Munich in the semifinals and Dortmund in London. This season, Los Blancos have already participated in one European match; in August, they defeated Atalanta to win the UEFA Super Cup, with Mbappe scoring on his debut. Antonio Rudiger, a defender for Real Madrid, spent four seasons playing for Stuttgart’s first squad after coming up through the academy. Due to injuries to Jude Bellingham, Aurelien Tchouameni, Dani Ceballos, Eduardo Camavinga, and Jude Bellingham, Ancelotti faces difficulties in the midfield. However, the Italian coach was optimistic that the latter two would play against the Germans. Star-studded While all the attention is focused on Madrid’s new acquisition, Kylian Mbappe, Ancelotti has a wealth of players at his disposal who can transform losses into draws and draws into wins—a trait that the team tends to exhibit, especially while playing in front of the lights in Europe. Bellingham, who joined from Dortmund, had an instant effect and was Madrid’s main man during the first half of the previous campaign. Vinicius, a Brazilian forward, scored twice in the semifinal match against Bayern and once more in the championship, making him an important player for the home team. Although the forward has had difficulty performing at his peak thus far this season, his coach will be very patient. “We love him here because although right now he’s not at his best, nobody can forget that with Vini we have won two Champions Leagues,” Ancelotti said last week. Both Mbappe and Vinicius scored penalties in the victory over La Real, and Mbappe believes he is trying to improve their chemistry on the field. “We try to find each other in training to create the connection and help the team,” said Mbappe. “He’s an amazing player and I’m happy to play with him in Real Madrid — what’s essential is goals, not who takes the penalties.” In his four La Liga games this season, Mbappe has scored three goals, including two through penalties, while Vinicius has scored two through the same method.
