Mbappé trains with Real Madrid in preparation for his first UEFA Champions League match with the club

Kylian Mbappé trained with Real Madrid on Monday ahead of his first UEFA Champions League match for the club after joining from Paris Saint Germain last summer.

The 25-year-old French striker has scored four goals in six games since joining Real Madrid and will be looking to improve on that tally when he takes on Stuttgart in the Spanish capital on Tuesday.

Mbappé was officially presented at Real Madrid in July in a move he described as a “childhood dream”. It came after he turned down a move to Madrid two years ago in a last-minute move to extend his contract with Paris Saint Germain.

Madrid, who defeated Borussia Dortmund in last season’s final at Wembley Stadium in London, have set their sights on a 16th European title and are set to meet the team again in a home match on October 22.

The Spanish team will play a series of home matches, including against FC Salzburg and AC Milan, during the competitive phase of the Champions League, which has a revamped format. In the UK, Real Madrid will face six-time winners Liverpool, as well as Atalanta, Brest and Lille.
