Emotional first Mbappé statement: “The club of my dreams”

After several failed attempts, Kylian Mbappé’s move to Real Madrid is official. In his first statement after the announcement, the 2018 world champion makes it immediately clear how much his new club means to him

Real Madrid won the Champions League last Saturday. Again. And the long hypothetical question as to what this team would only be capable of with Kylian Mbappé as a full-back can also be answered from the 2024/25 season.

The Whites made the deal with the 2018 French World Cup winner, who signed a five-year contract in the Spanish capital until June 30, 2029, official on Monday evening.

However, fans initially tried in vain to catch a glimpse of Real’s statement. The website was down for a while after the announcement. When the page was available again, it contained just one sentence: “Real Madrid and Kylian Mbappé have reached an agreement for the player to play at Real Madrid for five seasons.” End

Mbappé himself was responsible for the emotional part. The Paris Saint-Germain record goalscorer (256 goals in 307 games), who recently became top scorer in Ligue 1 six times in a row, shared four pictures on his Instagram channel. These show Mbappé as a teenager in a Real Madrid tracksuit at the club’s grounds. In another picture, he is joking around with the then Real superstar Cristiano Ronaldo

In Mbappé’s first statement below, the striker, who is aiming for his first European Championship title in Germany this summer, writes of a “dream come true”. “I’m very happy and proud to be part of the club of my dreams,” he adds. For him, it is also “impossible to explain how happy and excited I am at this moment”.

Mbappé can hardly wait to get started at his new club after the European Championship summer – and without the Olympic Games. “I’m already impatient to see you for the first time, madridistas,” Mbappé also addresses the fans, whom he has already thanked for their “incredible support”. What it will be like when Mbappé shoots Real to the next Champions League title?
