The Real Madrid team has been strong since Pati but this season Mbappe has become even stronger due to the addition of Mbappe to the Real Madrid team. And this season will always be top and i can say manchester city can take second place and real madrid is likely to take first place. There will be a huge fight in the points table.
Real Madrid have been in good squad for several seasons now and they have formed a prestigious squad that have been helping the club win major trophies and now that a great talent in the person of Mbappe have been signed, a lot is expected from the team because they don't lack anything but let's not be overzealous about the signing of Kylian Mbappe because in football, sometimes things doesn't work the way as expected but however, i believe the Frenchman will do his best to make sure that the hypes everyone is giving Real Madrid as a result of his arrival is not wasted.
It's rather early to make predictions of who will become first and second since Manchester city isn't also in a bad shape so we should not expect less from them as they also have a good squad and are almost equal in performance as Real Madrid, the only difference between the two teams is the higher Champions league trophies that Real Madrid has as compared to Manchester city that just won the champions league once in the club's history but considering how formidable the team have become in recent years means they can still win more champions league since Pep Guardiola has built the team so well and they also have an interesting squad but however, Real Madrid is the master of Champions league.
