Kylian Mbappé made a grand entrance as a Real Madrid player at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium, welcomed by tens of thousands of enthusiastic fans. This marked the culmination of one of football’s most anticipated transfers following his departure from Paris Saint-Germain after seven years. Real Madrid celebrated this momentous occasion with a montage of the club’s historic triumphs and a dramatic entrance for Mbappé, highlighted by Luciano Pavarotti’s “Nessun Dorma” and a showcase of Mbappé’s impressive career highlights.
Real Madrid, fresh from securing their 15th European title, has further bolstered their lineup with Mbappé’s arrival, adding to a star-studded squad featuring talents like Vinícius Jr. and Jude Bellingham. During the event, Mbappé expressed his long-held dream of playing for Real Madrid, thanking the fans for their love and support, which he said had touched his heart deeply.
Mbappé’s presentation was not just an introduction but also a display of his commitment to Real Madrid, echoing sentiments famously shared by Cristiano Ronaldo during his own unveiling in 2009. He engaged with the crowd, signing autographs and interacting with fans, underscoring his readiness to embrace his new chapter.
Despite his success with PSG, including multiple French league titles and personal accolades like the World Cup win and the Golden Boot at the 2022 World Cup, Mbappé is still chasing his first Champions League trophy—a quest he is eager to continue with Real Madrid. His presentation concluded with a pledge to devote himself fully to Real Madrid, aiming to meet the lofty expectations of the club’s storied history.
On the day of his unveiling, Real Madrid also confirmed that Mbappé had passed his medical examination, solidifying his readiness to start the season. His parents and French football legend Zinedine Zidane were present in the stands, witnessing Mbappé’s commitment to his new club and his dreams for the future.
