Chelsea Blues were defeated 1-2 in a warm-up match at the end of Real Madrid's 'America Tour', but highly-anticipated new signing Kilian McBarbee was absent from the match. Manager Carlo Ancelotti revealed that the 25-year-old French international is expected to make his debut against Atalanta in the early hours of August 15, which signals that "McBarbie's" debut for Real Madrid is just around the corner.
Faced with media inquiries about the timing of McBarbie's participation, Ancelotti responded, "McBarbie is fully capable of making his debut as a debutant, as is Zudi Bininha." The two stars have been on vacation since the end of their European campaigns, meaning that after the pre-season warm-ups they will be playing official matches for Real Madrid, especially with the new addition of McBarbie. However, they have yet to fully gel with their teammates, leaving a question mark over how quickly they will integrate into the team.
It is worth mentioning that despite his numerous honors, Kilian McBarbie has not been able to get his hands on a European Premier League title. This time, he has a chance to break that record and reap new glory.
