Kylian Mbappe joining Real Madrid is a blockbuster signing, but soccer history shows that 'superteams' don't always work out.
Real Madrid had cause to celebrate even before Kylian Mbappe's arrival was confirmed on Monday. Mbappe's move to the Spanish capital was no secret. It was expected for months and this was merely the rubber stamp. Yet it added to the general sense of 'vida en grande' for Los Blancos. The news coincided with a parade celebrating the club's 15th Champions League title and 36th La Liga crown, making for quite a scene.
Beckham, for example, didn't win La Liga until his final season and didn't win the Champions League at all during that time, advancing past the round of 16 just once in four years. Mbappe is a unique player, absolved of any kind of discussion. While still a teenager he was the driving force behind France's victorious 2018 World Cup campaign and his showing in the 2022 was the greatest individual performance in any final.
