“Bienvenido, Mbappé”: Real Madrid welcomes its new exceptional player. The striker is introduced to the fans. The last time such a spectacle was seen was in 2009.
Superstar Kylian Mbappé was given an enthusiastic welcome by 85,000 fans at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu at his official presentation as a new signing from Real Madrid. In front of his mother Fayza and father Wilfried as well as legends such as Zinédine Zidane and Raúl, the captain of the French national team entered the stage in the football temple of the Spanish Champions League winners at 12.48 p.m. in the snow-white outfit of his favorite club from his youth.
“Wow, it’s incredible to be here. I’ve dreamed of playing for Real Madrid for many years. Today my dream has come true. I’m a happy boy,” said Mbappé, who was signed on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain, kissing the crest on his jersey several times. Not far from him on the stage were the 15 Champions League trophies that make Real such a special club.

The 25-year-old had completed a medical examination before his appearance in his new football living room. With electrodes on his bare chest, Mbappé laughed into the camera and raised both thumbs up to show his joy. He then signed a contract until the summer of 2029, wearing an elegant black suit and alongside Real Madrid President Florentino Pérez.
The 2018 world champion, who broke his nose at the European Championships, held up his future jersey with the number 9 on the back with the powerful official. The number had been orphaned since the departure of compatriot Karim Benzema to Saudi Arabia a year ago.
The Estadio Santiago Bernabéu was filled to capacity for the spectacle. Tickets were free, but prices on the black market were as high as 300 euros. The last time the stadium was completely full was in 2009 for a player presentation. At that time, Cristiano Ronaldo was introduced. To get fans in the mood for the marketing show, they were also shown a video in which the then-young Kylian could be seen with the Portuguese superstar.
