- Fans have spotted one thing Kylian Mbappe does in training that could potentially unlock his full potential at Real Madrid
- It's been four months into the 2024/24 campaign, but the World Cup winner is still far from hitting his best form for Los Blancos
- It is believed that part of the issue is Mbappe's position on the pitch, playing centrally rather than on the left wing
Real Madrid fans are urging a major tactical change for Kylian Mbappe after a viral training clip showcased his dynamic play style.
The Frenchman joined Real Madrid in June 2024 on a free transfer after leaving PSG, reportedly earning a €150 million signing bonus and a €15 million annual salary.

The 25-year-old's unveiling at a packed Santiago Bernabéu marked the realization of a “dream come true.”
Despite a solid return of eight goals in 16 appearances, Mbappé’s transition hasn’t been smooth.
Carlo Ancelotti’s deployment of the France captain as a central striker alongside Vinícius Junior on the left and Rodrygo on the right has sparked debate.
Mbappe's training video goes viral
Both Mbappé and Vinícius naturally excel on the left, creating a positional overlap that some fans feel hinders team cohesion.
The viral footage shows Mbappé’s electrifying movement during training, cutting in from the left with blistering pace before finishing clinically—reminiscent of his PSG form.
Fans call for tactical change
Fans have taken to social media, calling for Ancelotti to allow Mbappé to operate more freely on the left flank, where he’s most comfortable.
