Mbappe on EURO and World Cup
Spanish giants Real had been chasing the France international for several seasons and have now secured his services on a five-year contract.
In a recent interview, the French superstar weighed on the EURO and World Cup debate.
"For me, the EURO is more complicated than the World Cup,” he stated according to a post on X.
“Even though there is much more pressure at the World Cup, here all the teams know each other, we play against each other all the time. Tactically it's very similar football."
The move to the Bernabeu represents a new chapter for Mbappe, who had been heavily linked with a switch to Real Madrid for the past couple of years.
He came close to joining the 15-time Champions League winners two seasons ago but ultimately opted to stay at Paris Saint-Germain.
Now, with his future settled, Mbappe will turn his attention to representing France and helping the former World Champions at the EURO 2024.
The 2018 World Cup champions will be hoping to add the continental title to their trophy cabinet, and Mbappe's experience and tactical nous could be crucial in navigating the challenging EURO competition.
As one of the world's most exciting talents, Mbappe's insights on the differences between major international tournaments will be of great interest to fans and football lovers.
With his move to Real Madrid now complete, all eyes will be on the young Frenchman as he embarks on the next phase of his illustrious career.
