Kylian Mbappé's First Press Conference as a Real Madrid Player
Kylian Mbappé, the French superstar, has officially joined Real Madrid, marking the end of a long-anticipated transfer saga. During his first press conference, Mbappé expressed his excitement and humility, emphasizing his desire to integrate into the team. He stated, "I’m very humble, I’m at the biggest club in the world. My priority is to integrate and then everything will become easier."
Mbappé's presentation was a grand affair, with tens of thousands of fans at the Santiago Bernabéu. The event featured a montage of Real Madrid's historical successes and a highlight reel of Mbappé's goals, set to the powerful performance of "Nessun Dorma" by Luciano Pavarotti. This moment has been eagerly awaited by fans who have long dreamed of seeing Mbappé don the famous white shirt.
Mbappé's signing is part of Real Madrid's strategy to bolster their squad, which already includes stars like Vinícius Jr. and Jude Bellingham. The 25-year-old forward, who has won numerous titles with PSG and AS Monaco, including the 2018 World Cup with France, is yet to add a Champions League title to his accolades.
During his speech, Mbappé thanked Real Madrid fans for their unwavering support over the years. "Since I was a child I only had one dream: to play here. And being here now means a lot to me," he said. He also expressed his commitment to the club, stating, "I can say that I am going to give my life for this club and for this shield."
Mbappé's presentation concluded with him greeting fans, signing autographs, and kicking soccer balls into the stands. He also paid tribute to his childhood hero, Cristiano Ronaldo, by kissing the club's shield and leading the crowd in a chant of "Hala Madrid."
Real Madrid's latest acquisition is set to join the team for their American tour, with their first match against AC Milan on July 31. Mbappé, who recently captained France to a semi-final defeat in the European Championships, is eager to start his journey with the Merengues and aims to be fit for the Club World Cup.
