Kylian Mbappe beamed with joy as he was officially introduced to a packed Bernabeu stadium, realizing a lifelong dream by joining Real Madrid.
The 25-year-old French forward signed a five-year contract with the club in July, following the expiration of his Paris St-Germain deal.
Although his presentation was delayed due to France’s participation in Euro 2024, where they were eliminated by Spain in the semi-finals, Mbappe’s excitement was palpable as he addressed the crowd of over 80,000 enthusiastic fans.
“I spent countless nights imagining myself playing for Real Madrid, and today, that dream has become a reality,” Mbappe said, his voice filled with emotion. “My family is overjoyed to be here, and I can see my mother overcome with tears. This is an incredible day for me, one that I’ve dreamed of since childhood. It means everything to me.”
