Legendary moment! Real present Mbappe at the Santiago Bernabeu
Finally, Real Madrid fans have witnessed the moment they've long awaited. Kylian Mbappé has officially signed with "Los Blancos," and a grand presentation ceremony was held at Santiago Bernabéu for the French superstar forward.
The presentation featured legendary former Real Madrid midfielders Zinedine Zidane and Pirri.
Mbappé's parents were also present at the stadium. His mother, Fayza Lamari, who is also his agent, couldn't hold back her tears as she saw her son emerge from the Santiago Bernabéu tunnel.
Later, Mbappé took to the microphone and said:
"I am a Real Madrid player. Wow.
I see my mother in tears... This is an incredible day for me. Let me thank Florentino Pérez.
Today, my childhood dream has come true. My second dream is to live up to the standards of the best club in the world. I will dedicate my life to this club."
He then kissed the Real Madrid badge on his shirt.
As a reminder, Mbappé will begin his career at Real Madrid wearing the number 9, previously worn by Karim Benzema. His favorite number 10 is currently held by the legendary Luka Modrić.
The transfer saga involving Mbappé's move from PSG to Real Madrid has spanned several years. Ultimately, the 25-year-old forward joined the Spanish champions as a free agent.
