WATCH: Kylian Mbappe recreates ICONIC Cristiano Ronaldo chant during Real Madrid presentation

After years of rumors, failed offers and last-minute U-turns, Kylian Mbappe is finally a Real Madrid player. From falling for fake rumors to the player himself denying any potential moves to Spain, Madristas can finally say that Mbappe plays for their club. The 25-year-old was officially revealed as a Real Madrid player in front of a packed Santiago Bernabeu.

Over 80,000 fans were assembled in the renovated Bernabeu as they shared their excitement with Madrid’s new No.9. After finally realizing his childhood dream, Mbappe only had one thing in mind during his presentation – to recreate the iconic Hala Madrid chant. Following in the footsteps of his idol Cristiano Ronaldo, Mbappe embraced the enormity of the crowd gathered to witness his unveiling.

Uno, Dos, Tres. Hala Madrid!

Kylian Mbappe said during his presentation

The crowd welcomed his chant with a huge roar as they dreamt of all the possibilities for the club in next season. Mbappe joins Madrid after running down his contract with Paris Saint-Germain in June. He will join a packed squad that features the likes of Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Jr., Rodrygo Goes and Arda Guler.

Kylian Mbappe claims that he ‘never wanted’ No. 10

Ever since Kylian Mbappe was linked to Real Madrid, rumors surrounding his kit number had surfaced on social media. From assuming that Luka Modric will leave the club to the player accepting another number, fans had all sorts of assumptions ahead of his unveiling for the club. As Mbappe officially accepted the No.9 from Florentino Perez, fans were reminded of how Ronaldo donned the same number in his maiden season with the club.

I never said I wanted Luka Modric's number. I'm honored to play with Modric. He's a champion, a Ballon d'Or winner and I respect him so much.

Kylian Mbappe said during his unveiling

Modric, aged 38 chose to extend his stay at Madrid for atleast one more season. His midfield compatriot Toni Kroos called time on his professional career at the end of the season.

While many believe that Mbappe will ‘struggle’ to fit in a front line that features Bellingham, Vinicius and Rodrygo, the player himself is willing to adjust his style of play to suit the team. Mbappe assured that he can operate out of a variety of positions and will do his best to implement Carlo Ancelotti‘s plans.
