In the football world, every transfer of a player is accompanied by endless expectations and speculation, and there are even more doubts about which players who have betrayed their parent team. When Mbappe insisted on joining Real Madrid as a free agent last summer, most people were expecting him to bring new glory to Real Madrid, because they all hope that the Galaxy battleships can give birth to superstars and Golden Globe winners again. However, Real Madrid's performance in various competitions this season is somewhat unsatisfactory, and Mbappe has not won the championship in important events such as La Liga, Champions League, King's Cup and the Spanish Super League Cup. Because of the tide of doubts, and Paris who sent Mbappe away won the Champions League trophy, Mbappe has become a background board. During this period, some people also believe that Mbappe needs time, and believe that if they turn their attention to the past and learn from Ronaldo’s career trajectory at Real Madrid, they may bring some inspiration to Mbappe’s future championship path.

C Ronaldo moved from Manchester United to Real Madrid in 2009 and embarked on a legendary journey. His first season played in 35 games, contributing amazing 33 goals and 10 assists, showing his super goal-scoring ability and offensive threat. Even so, Real Madrid stopped in the Champions League that season, ranked second in the league, and was eliminated early in the Cup of del Rey. Ronaldo's first Real Madrid season ended up in no success. But this is just the starting point of his glorious chapter of Real Madrid. In the second season, Ronaldo led Real Madrid to defeat Barcelona in the Copa del Rey final and won his first championship trophy at Real Madrid.

More importantly, in the nine seasons he played for Real Madrid, Ronaldo led the team to win 16 championship trophys, including four impressive Champions League titles. At the same time, he personally won 4 Golden Globe Awards for his outstanding performance in Real Madrid, becoming a legend in Real Madrid's history and even world football.

Let's take a look at Mbappe's first season at Real Madrid. He also showed extraordinary strength, and won 43 goals in various competitions, breaking the Real Madrid team's goal record, which even surpassed his idol Cristiano Ronaldo's first season in Real Madrid. Mbappe also won the European Golden Boot Award for the first time with these goals, becoming one of the most dazzling scorers in European football. In his first season after Mbappe left the team, Paris Saint-Germain won the first Champions League championship in team history, which undoubtedly brought certain public opinion pressure to Mbappe. But Real Madrid's signing of Mbappe is not just about the results of a season, but rather about his long-term potential and far-reaching impact on the team.

Judging from Ronaldo's experience, a dull first season does not determine the player's future achievements in a team. Real Madrid has a deep foundation and strong strength, and they are good at creating an environment for players to win championships. Mbappe is young and talented. He gradually adapts and grows in Real Madrid's system, and there are countless opportunities to win the championship in the future. In Real Madrid, Mbappe has a group of strong teammates around who can jointly launch an attack on the championship. As time goes by, Mbappe will have a more tacit understanding of the team, and his understanding of Real Madrid's tactical system will be deeper, which will greatly enhance his and the team's competitiveness in various competitions.

Although Mbappe has failed to win the championship in several major events this season, this is just the beginning of his Real Madrid career. C Ronaldo's Real Madrid journey has proved that the lack of a championship in the first season does not mean a bleak future. Mbappe has unlimited potential. As long as he stays healthy and continues to improve himself, in the future years of Real Madrid, he is very likely to win many championship trophies like Ronaldo and write his own brilliant chapters. Real Madrid fans don’t need to be anxious. Mbappe’s Real Madrid legend has just begun.

As a meritorious coach, Ancelotti has left. Mbappe has not helped the coach win the championship in his first season. The sad dismissal of the old coach also brings hidden worries to Real Madrid. Alonso's basis for coaching Real Madrid's debut season is not very clear, because the success of coaching the strong team does not indicate that coaching the giant team can achieve good results.
