Watching Real Madrid make even more history last season as they produced a sensational domestic and European double, Los Blancos will once again be looking to shatter the record books this time around.
Holding off Barcelona’s charge and eventually finishing the 2023/24 campaign with a commanding 10-point buffer over their arch-rivals, all of Spain’s elite will steal centre stage next week.
With Girona springing an almighty upset last season as they secured a first Champions League ticket, La Liga finds its reputation at a red-hot high.
Welcoming a host of European icons this summer, Spain’s golden trio have certainly completed their own big-name arrivals and will be looking for their new superstars to hit the ground running.
Kylian Mbappe – Real Madrid
Much like Cristiano Ronaldo’s decision to head over to Saudi Arabia back in the winter of 2022, Kylian Mbappe’s long anticipated move to Real Madrid sent shockwaves through the footballing globe this summer.
With the French icon officially announcing that he would be leaving PSG at the end of his contract prior to this summer’s European Championships, Mbappe has only further underlined his status as one of Europe’s ultimate poster boys.
Handed Real Madrid’s famous number nine shirt during his sensational arrival ceremony at the Santiago Bernabeu, the 25-year-old joins a Los Blancos squad that secured a famous double-winning campaign last season.
Forming what looks set to be a blockbuster partnership with England international and Ballon d’Or contender Jude Bellingham, Mbappé is PSG’s record goal scorer, with 256 goals for the Ligue 1 side.
Arriving in the Spanish capital with plenty of pressure on his shoulders as he looks to finally get his hands on a maiden Champions League crown, Mbappe’s move to Madrid could prove to be one of the most famous in the modern era.
