With Kylian Mbappe joining a star-studded Real Madrid side, much questions have been raised regarding where he would fit in, but manager Carlo Ancelotti has now shed light on the matter.
The Frenchman signed for the Spanish giants at the beginning of July, and in doing so, he joined a mouthwatering attacking line-up that already consists of Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo and Jude Bellingham, among others.

The 25-year-old was given the No. 9 shirt ahead of the 2024/25 campaign, but there has been considerable speculation around his potential role in Los Blancos' attack.
It is believed the forward prefers to play on the left, a position already occupied by Vinicius.
However, Ancelotti – who was speaking on Nigeria legend John Obi Mikel's Obi One podcast – has revealed that there will be plenty of mobility in Real's attacking ranks.
"I see him [Mbappe] playing up front. The front, the attack, is quite wide – the pitch is 68 metres. We have to cover these 68 metres with the players in front.
"If I ask you where Vinicius played last season, it's difficult to say. He didn't [always] play as a left winger, he moved.
"The important key to the attacking players is the mobility of the players. Sometimes they can play on the left, sometimes down the middle.
"Bellingham sometimes played on the left, sometimes in the middle, sometimes went to the right. Rodrygo started most of the game on the right, sometimes I saw him playing on the left. So it's important, the mobility.
"I want to give them freedom. They have to be able to manage the situation of the game. We played one game against City with both Vinicius and Rodrygo on the left, because we thought we could take advantage.
"We are not so worried where Mbappe will play. I think it's true, it's important about the mobility up front."
