Kylian Mbappe seemd to struggle to settle at Real Madrid following his much heralded move from France.

"My adaptation took a little time," Mbappe admits, "But I was happy from the first day."

Explaining why his adaptation took a while, Mbappe said, "It was a combination of many things.

"You have to readjust to a new club, a new country... I was reaching a point in my career where I wasn't at my best in terms of sport and I had to be at the top of my game right away because we already had finals to play in, a championship where you have to win every match because there's a lot of competition, a new Champions League format, matches every three days, seven different competitions to play in.

"There were a lot of things to assimilate and very quickly. Unfortunately, I only did it "quickly". But I knew it was going to work.

"The club has always had the best attitude towards me, I knew that at some point, things would change and I would be able to show my qualities in Madrid," Mbappe adds.

Real Madrid chased Mbappe for almost four years before finally landing him. They luckily got him for free.
