News from the soccer world is in and it’s the biggest transfer in recent times! Ex-PSG player Kylian Mbappe is now a Real Madrid man as his team unveiled their newest recruit at Saint Bernabeu ahead of countless Los Blancos fans. And his entry updates into the La Liga team have reached the F1 town too. So, Spanish 2-time World Champion Fernando Alonso could hardly help dipping his toes in the Mbappe fever. As he reacted to the reports of the French national team captain joining his favorite soccer club, he found Pedro de la Rosa saying Mbappe might not win Real Madrid a La Liga trophy. In a response, Alonso shot a warning at the ex-racer.
Kylian rose to stardom following his 2022 FIFA World Cup performance where he got the golden boot. The Frenchman even impressed the onlookers during his Paris Saint-Germain stint as he took the squad to the finals of the Champions League 2020 where it unfortunately lost against Bayern Munich. After serving PSG till 2024, Mbappe has now agreed to move to Spain for a summer deal with Real Madrid.
During an interview with Fernando Alonso, Barcelona supporter Pedro de la Rosa claimed Real Madrid will not win in La Liga even after roping in Mbappe. As a reply to this, Alonso was quoted by DAZN, saying, “Winning the Champions League is already good enough.”

Kylian Mbappe’s new tenure at Real Madrid is a nice surprise for all the soccer fans. But it looks like Fernando Alonso already knew about this! Oviedo is an honorary member of the soccer club, and thus, he said, “I’m very happy after [the] long wait. The signing was almost done six or seven years ago. He has finally arrived and he will surely be an incredible reinforcement for Madrid.”
Real Madrid already has 15 UEFA Champions League wins in its bag, thanks to their brilliant legacy. Now, Kylian Mbappe is the young blood that can steer Los Blancos ahead in the future to stand up against teams like Barcelona. Also, just 4 days ago, Mbappe’s national team lost its run at the Euro Cup to Spain, thus he might be even more eager to win for Real Madrid and redeem himself.

But there is a question that now arises regarding these two F1 racers: Should they be happy about their own careers in motorsports at the moment? Alonso has performed well this year but hasn’t won a single podium finish. On the other hand, Sainz is walking towards the end of his Ferrari contract without any fixed seat for 2025.
