In an interview with YEN.com.gh, Nigerian sports journalist Pedro Peter believes Real Madrid will always be favourites to win the Champions League, but signing Mbappe this summer makes them stronger and increases their chances of successfully defending the title.
"In every season, Real Madrid are always one of the heavyweights tipped to win European club football's greatest prize," he said.
"Recruiting Kylian Mbappe only makes the team stronger and further increases their chances of retaining their title.
"After all, club president Florentino Perez stated the team was already working towards claiming a 16th continental crown, and Mbappe is surely one of the weapons built to make it happen."
