With Kylian Mbappe joining Real Madrid, it’s a star-studded Los Blancos side.

Many are wondering how Carlo Ancelotti will use the newly signed France superstar.

Jude Bellingham ran the show through the middle last season. Will the arrival of Mbappe slow things down for Jude Bellingham? Ancelotti doesn’t think so.

Ancelotti believes Jude Bellingham will still shine despite the signing of Mbappe.

“Nothing changes for him. Nothing changes,” Ancelotti said.

“The first season, he surprised a lot, because he showed fantastic quality, a really mature guy. The next season will not be different.

“He is going to be one of the best players that we have, supporting the team a lot with his quality. This is an opinion, but Bellingham played really well at the Euros. England played really well, they reached the final and were close to winning it.”

Madrid will face Atalanta in their UEFA Super Cup clash on 14 August. Madrid will play their first game of the campaign against Mallorca on 18 August.
