Real Madrid move a dream come true - Mbappe

French superstar, Kylian Mbappé has described his move to European Championship club Real Madrid as "a dream come true".

During his unveiling on Tuesday, July 16, images surfaced of a 13-year-old Mbappé alongside Zinédine Zidane at Real Madrid’s Valdebebas training ground.

Although he initially opted for a different route, joining AS Monaco and later Paris Saint-Germain, his path has finally led him to Madrid.

"Wow. It's incredible to be here," Mbappé said in Spanish. "I dreamt for many years about playing for Real Madrid, and today that dream comes true."

"Since I was a kid I had one dream, to play here. Being here means a lot to me. Now I want to achieve another dream, being at the level of this club, the best in the world. I can say one thing: I'll give everything for this club and this badge."

This summer, Mbappé left PSG as a free agent, two years after turning down an offer from Real Madrid to stay in Paris. Unlike before, he chose not to renew his contract with PSG and instead signed with Real Madrid, taking the iconic No.9 jersey.

Due to the summer’s European Championship, Mbappé’s presentation was delayed. However, he was eventually introduced to 80,000 eager Real Madrid fans at a packed Santiago Bernabéu.

Mbappe will wear the number 9 jersey which was previously used by his Le Bleu teammate, Karim Benzema.
