Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has acknowledged that the team is still acclimating to life with the newest ‘Galactico,’ Kylian Mbappe. Ancelotti also addressed Mbappe’s goalless start to life in La Liga, stating he was not worried about it.

Long-time transfer target Mbappe joined Real Madrid as a free agent earlier this summer. The former Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) man has signed a five-year deal with the All-Whites and is proudly wearing Karim Benzema‘s No. 9 jersey.

Lastly, he addressed the concern regarding Mbappe’s form, assuring there was nothing to worry about.

“The last goal Mbappé scored was August 14 [in the Super Cup] and today is August 28.

“That’s two weeks. It isn’t the time to worry. He…
