However, Los Blancos are advised to take lessons from PSG who could not win the UEFA Champions League.

Kylian Mbappe despite working magic at PSG would not make Real Madrid invincible in Spain felt Spanish soccer star, Iago Aspas. In an interview with AS, Aspas said, “On paper, it is very easy to say that Real Madrid is going to sweep away Mbappé, but that has to be translated on the pitch.

He further stated, “It would be good for La Liga because the better players that come, the more impact and economic revenue will be generated. After that, the pie would have to be shared out a little better so that the other teams could get a little closer to Real Madrid,” citing the broader impact of the player.
