Tuesday 16 July 2024 - 14:50

The air was electric as Kylian Mbappé stepped onto the stage for his presentation ceremony at his new club, a dream he had harbored for years finally coming to fruition. "Wow... it's incredible to be here. I have dreamt for years of playing for this club, and today my dream has become a reality. I am an elated young man," Mbappé declared, his voice filled with emotion.

He went on to make a heartfelt pledge to his new club, stating, "I will give my life for this club and this badge. I am proud to realize my dream and become a player for the greatest club in football history."

The club's president, Florentino Pérez, addressed the crowd and spoke of the journey that had led to this moment. "Twelve years ago, you invited a young man to Valdebebas, the club's training center, who is now the protagonist of this moment, a player who will help us continue to win and who is realizing the dream of his life," Pérez said, addressing Zidane.

Turning to Mbappé, Pérez added, "Kylian, you are here because you wanted to be. You have overcome all obstacles to wear this white jersey, the one with 15 European Cups. Welcome home, welcome to Real Madrid!"

The club rolled out a blue carpet for their new star, welcoming him like a rock star to his new home, which had been renovated and modernized to attract the concerts of the world's greatest artists.

Mbappé was greeted by tens of thousands of Madrid fans, some of whom had waited for hours to catch a glimpse of their new hero. The captain of the French national team took his first steps onto the pitch of the legendary stadium, following in the footsteps of his idol Cristiano Ronaldo, who had also been given a grand welcome ceremony 15 years prior.

A video played on the big screens, highlighting the connection between Mbappé and Ronaldo, whose posters adorned the Frenchman's childhood bedroom.

After passing his medical examination at the La Moraleja hospital on the outskirts of Madrid, Mbappé signed his five-year contract with Pérez at the club's training center, posing for photos in front of replicas of the Champions League trophy, a dream he had been unable to achieve in Paris.

For Mbappé and Real Madrid, this was the culmination of a long-awaited transfer, one that had been hoped for and delayed for years. Since last Thursday, Mbappé's number 9 jersey has been flying off the shelves in the club's stores, his face plastered everywhere. The stage is now set for Mbappé to make his mark on the club he has always dreamed of playing for, and the fans cannot wait to see what he will bring to the team.
