Kylian Mbappé Celebrates Dream Move to Real Madrid

In a highly anticipated event at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, Kylian Mbappé officially joined Real Madrid, fulfilling a childhood dream that began when he was just 14 years old. The young forward, who had taken Spanish lessons in preparation for this moment, expressed his joy, stating, “I spent endless nights dreaming about one day playing for Real Madrid, and today I’m one happy guy.” The event saw tickets sell out two days in advance, and Mbappé’s new No. 9 shirt reportedly outsold Cristiano Ronaldo’s debut merchandise in 2009. Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez reminisced about Mbappé’s memorable visit to the club in 2012, where he met his idol, Zinedine Zidane. Pérez highlighted the significance of that encounter, which left a lasting impression on the young player. Reflecting on his journey, Mbappé acknowledged the support he received from his family and others who helped him reach this milestone, noting, “My family are so happy here, I can see my mum crying.” During a press conference following the event, Mbappé credited his time at Paris Saint-Germain under coaches Luis Enrique and Mauricio Pochettino for preparing him for this new chapter. He humorously admitted that while he had improved his Spanish, he still needed to learn more colloquial expressions. As he concluded his address to fans with a spirited “1, 2, 3 Hala Madrid,” it was clear that Mbappé was ready to embrace his future at the prestigious club.
