Yesterday, Madrid welcomed Kylian Mbappe in a spectacular ceremony, marking a new chapter in football history. A lifelong fan of Cristiano Ronaldo and Real Madrid, Mbappe expressed his joy, recalling dreams of this moment since childhood.
The event mirrored Ronaldo’s 2009 arrival, with both stars donning the number 9 shirt and drawing 80,000 fans. Ronaldo’s legacy includes 450 goals, four Champions Trophies, and four Ballon d’Ors, setting a high bar for Mbappe.
Today, Madrid is already a powerhouse, with nine semifinal appearances and six Champions League titles in the past twelve years. Mbappe aims to add to this legacy, targeting Champions Trophy and Ballon d’Or wins.
Mbappe’s unveiling was capped with a nod to Ronaldo’s iconic style: “One, two, three. Hala Madrid!”
