    WHAT HAPPENED?

    Mbappe made the long-awaited move to Real Madrid this summer as a free agent after the expiration of his contract at Paris Saint-Germain. There has since been much discussion about where and how the Frenchman will fit into Ancelotti's squad and the Italian coach has maintained that Mbappe will have to be flexible at his new club.

    WHAT ANCELOTTI SAID

    Speaking to the media, Ancelotti said: "First of all, he is going to bring his quality as well as his composure, attitude and dedication. He is going to have to adapt for this team as everyone has had to. We are very happy he is here because he has great qualities and – I'm sure, given his personality – he will adjust quickly. Everybody at Real Madrid is very happy he is here: the fans, the club, the players, the team-mates, the coach. We are all very happy he is here. We're sure he'll do very well."
