80,000 Real Madrid fans thronged the Bernabeu as France captain, Kylian Mbappe declared his joining the Spanish giants as a dream come true.
The France forward agreed to a five year deal in July after the expiry of his Paris St-Germain contract.
His presentation was delayed due to France’s involvement at Euro 2024, where they were knocked out at the semi-final stage by Spain.
But, speaking to a crowd of over 80,000 spectators at the Bernabeu, Mbappe told supporters he had dreamt of the moment he could call himself a Real Madrid player.
“I spent endless nights dreaming about one day playing for Real Madrid and today I am one happy guy,” said Mbappe.
“My family are so happy here, I can see my mum crying.
“It’s an incredible day for me, I’ve dreamt of this day since I was a kid and this day means a lot to me.”
Kylian was handed the Number 9 jersey, with the club president Florentino Perez, saying, “The love that you felt for Real Madrid, and you identifying with this club since your childhood, made it possible for you to be here and to overcome those obstacles on the way to your dream.”
