KYLIAN MBAPPE – PSG

Karim Benzema had a fantastic campaign with France in the Euro 2020, he stepped up when it was needed the most and was arguably their best player in the tournament. His partnership with Kylian Mbappe was great as well. The two paired up brilliantly.

The two read each other’s movements well and the chemistry was strong too despite the limited time spent together. Benzema linked up well with Mbappe but it was unfortunate that the latter failed to get his name on the scoresheet in any of the games.

It was one of Mbappe’s lowest points in his career and he also received widespread criticism for his performances. However, one thing is certain that the 22-year-old will bounce back and prove his critics wrong. Hopefully, he does that at Real Madrid.

A strike partnership of Mbappe and Benzema would be exciting. Karim can once again take the role of a creator and act as Mbappe’s wingman in the attack. The two get along well both on and off the field and it would be exciting to watch them both play in white.

Do you see Kylian Mbappe signing for Real Madrid this summer transfer window? If yes, how excited are you to see him pair up once again with Karim Benzema?
