The big Spanish team had an idea for superstar Mbappe’s debut at the Bernabeu stadium to be as spectacular as Ronaldo’s, but unfortunately, between the end of the domestic season and the Euro, they had problems with the schedule. competition.
Kylian Mbappe’s official presentation at the Bernabeu cathedral is one of Real Madrid’s best-kept secrets. This is understandable because the club still cannot take signing the French player for granted Mbappe There is no agreement to leave PSG with a contract until the end of June.
There are no available dates for Mbappe’s debut
However, AS newspaper said everything has been agreed between the two sides and if there are no surprises, Mbappe is Real Madrid’s big signing this summer. The idea for Mbappe’s debut was originally the day after the season ended and before Euro 2024 took place in Germany. The scale of Mbappe’s Bernabeu pitch was similar to Christiano Ronaldo’s in 2009. But in the end, both sides ran into trouble with the fixtures.
Accordingly, PSG’s Ligue1 campaign will end on May 18 at Metz away field. Meanwhile, Real Madrid finishes La Liga a week later – with a home match at Bernabeu to host Betis on May 26. And while Madrid was still competing for the championship, Mbappe could do nothing in the days before the match against Betis.
The days after La Liga ends are also a suitable time for Real Madrid to hold Mbappe’s debut, except for June 1, when the Champions League final will take place at Wembley Stadium. Currently, both PSG and Madrid are following different legs of the knockout rounds from the quarter-final series. So it is possible that one or both will play in the final in London.
Mbappe and the French team are busy for Euro 2024
The Euro 2024 finals will open in Germany on June 14. France coach Didier Deschamps had planned to call up the squad at the end of May to have at least two weeks to prepare for their Euro debut, against Austria in Dusseldorf on June 17. Sources at Real Madrid said: “Asking Deschamps to let key striker Mbappe leave training camp for a day to attend his debut in the Spanish capital is unreasonable. It will be very difficult for the French team to accept that.”
And above all, Real Madrid will also have to ask PSG for permission or some kind of agreement, because in terms of procedures, Mbappe’s contract with the Paris team will last until June 30. There are too many complications for these two opponents to make peace with each other.

Therefore, we cannot rule out the possibility that fans will have to wait until early August, when Real Madrid returns from the US tour (coach Ancelotti’s team plays against Chelsea on August 6 in Charlotte). After that, there are only 11 days left until the 2024-2025 season begins, scheduled to take place near the end of August.
This is also the time with the least disturbance because Mbappe has integrated into coach Ancelotti’s squad and the Bernabeu stadium receives the French star with more friendliness. Mbappe will be honored as a big and new star of the Blancos, after Ronaldo’s time. At that time, the Bernabeu stadium may be too small for a big day for fans to welcome Mbappe.
