On Tuesday in Madrid, French sensation Kylian Mbappe made his formal debut as a Real Madrid player.
Club president Florentino Perez gave the striker a No. 9 shirt as well as a five-year contract after he had finished his medical earlier on Tuesday morning.
“Wow,” Mbappe said in Spanish to thousands of fans gathered at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.
“For years I’ve dreamed of playing for Real Madrid and today my dream has come true,” said the 25-year-old former Paris Saint-Germain player.
“I’m a happy boy. I’m going to give my life for this club.”
The striker, who captained France in the Euros, will get a few more days free before starting his season in the Spanish city, despite the fact that his new teammates started training on Monday.
