Real Madrid: José Mourinho's plan for Kylian Mbappé

Real Madrid manager José Mourinho has set himself two objectives on the Madrid bench.

The Special One wants to restore defensive solidity and create genuine offensive harmony among his stars. According to information from L’Equipe this Friday, Kylian Mbappé is "at the center of the project" envisioned by the Special One, who aims to make him as effective as Cristiano Ronaldo was during his time at the Santiago Bernabéu.

Another standout player at the 2026 World Cup, Jude Bellingham, will also be given an important role. The Englishman, who was shuffled around various midfield positions by Mourinho’s predecessors due to his versatility, will be deployed in support of the French striker. It’s up to Mourinho to figure out how to get the best out of this duo.
