Kylian Mbappe won the World Cup Golden Boot, but just like he won the Pichichi Trophy for two seasons in a row at Real Madrid without any major silverware as a team, his French national side did not even secure a top three finsh at the World Cup despite being most people's favorites to take it all home this summer.
The next task for Mbappe as he heads back to Real Madrid with Jose Mourinho as his coach is simple. For the first time in his career, he needs to win a major tournament as the star of the team, because the only time he won a World Cup or a Champions League in 2018, he was an important secondary piece to the incredible work Antoine Griezmann and Paul Pogba did as the main stars.
As the transfer window continues with the World Cup over, Real Madrid are going to intensify their effots to bring Mbappe another friend to help him in the attack, as Florentino Perez remains obsessed with bringing in Michael Olise.
Michael Olise the new Raymond Kopa for Real Madrid?
Now, reports around Europe are circulating that Kylian Mbappe and Aurelien Tchouameni have successfully convinced Olise to join the White House, and all that is needed is Olise to tell Bayern Munich that officially in their meeting after the World Cup to clarify his future.
Together, Mbappe and Olise did something concrete, setting a prestigious record that will help Michael Olise make his decision in favor of Real Madrid. Via Madrid Xtra, Mbappe and Olise tied a record set nearly 70 years ago by French Real Madrid legend Raymond Kopa and his national teammate Just Fontaine by having five player to player assists to each other. Olie assisted Mbappe five times in 2026.
Olise already works with the best No. 9 in the world in Harry Kane, but there are many at Real Madrid who still believe that with his qualities on paper, Mbappe should be the best No. 9 on the planet. And after winning the World Cup Golden Boot, they will think that even more.
Looking at the fact that half of his assists came from Olise as they nearly broke another record together, Mbappe has to be pounding the drum harder for Olise to join, and so does Florentino Perez and the rest of the decision makers at Real Madrid. Plus, Olise could be even more dangerous in Madrid with Mbappe as his teammate, and he could enjoy his football even more with a national team friend like that.
