Kylian Mbappé's tale is no secret - he's always been a die-hard fan of Real Madrid. His childhood was dotted with trials at the club and he almost joined them in 2017, and again in 2022. Fast forward to Tuesday, when he officially signed a five-year contract with Real Madrid, moving from Paris Saint-Germain due to a free transfer clause at the end of the 2023-24 season.
Real Madrid Fans welcomed him warmly, gathering en masse at the stadium in his honor. The vibe mirrored that of an off-season LaLiga matchday. Merchandise brandishing Mbappé's name was everywhere, and the new club shop looked more like a Mbappé shop.
Devoted fans braved high temperatures, some hours before the stadium's gates opened. The club had made tickets available to its members for free, with the supply exhausted days earlier. The stadium transformed into a stage to welcome its new star with Madrid's 15 European Cups on display.
A jaw-dropping standard was set in 2009, with a crowd of 85,000 fans welcoming Cristiano Ronaldo, turning the stadium into a thrilling spectacle. Would Mbappé's long-awaited arrival match such a monumental event?
Although the crowd wasn't as large as that of Ronaldo's presentation, the ones present made their presence known. There were around 70,000-80,000 fans present, and the excitement was palpable. Kylian Mbappé had made it; his childhood dream had come true, and he was ready to take the field, donned in the Real Madrid jersey.
