Many football fans have been talking about Kylian Mbappé's presentation at Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabeu since it is the biggest move of the summer. The player has been rumored for years that he would join Los Blancos, but now it is official. The event was held early in Madrid, Spain, and the broadcast was very early for other parts of the world, such as the United States. The time difference did not mean the views of the presentation were low, as the number of people watching it online impressed.

El Chiringuito TV was streaming the event on YouTube as well as the official Real Madrid channel. El Chiringuito TV reported that their stream reached 20,000,000 views. These are very high numbers, but according to Inter Miami co-owner David Beckham, they are nowhere near what Messi's presentation at Inter Miami reached in viewership.

Messi's presentation last summer reportedly reached up to 3.5 billion people. The move of the Argentine star to the MLS was surprising, and many anticipated his presentation.

Just yesterday, Inter Miami officially signed Lionel Messi as a free agent. There were many rumors that he was supposed to go back to FC Barcelona or even try to play in another European league, but the move to the MLS shocked many. Inter Miami remembered Messi's signing vividly, and the club celebrated the full year of the Argentine star at the club.

Mbappé's presentation may not have gotten the same viewership as Messi's, but the presentation in person at the Santiago Bernabeu outnumbers the Inter Miami stadium by a lot. This is due to the capacity of the stadiums as the Inter Miami stadium holds more than 20,000 seats while the Santiago Bernabeu hold a capacity of 80,000. The stadium was sold out for Mbappé's presentation.

What is next for Mbappé?

Real Madrid will start to prepare for the US pre-season tour, which starts late this month, but Mbappé may not be joining them. Mbappé is set to take a vacation after his elimination with France at the EUROS last week. He didn't fully have a vacation since his presentation was already scheduled for today a while ago.

Kylian Mbappe is finally a Real Madrid player, after many years of rumors of him exiting Paris Saint Germain. Real Madrid's president Florentino Perez unveiled him as a new player in a crowded Santiago Bernabeu stadium where more than 80,000 fans gathered to welcome their new star.

Now Mbappe desire is to adapt as soon as possible to the team. His debut might be on the UEFA Super Cup, where the Champions League winners faces the UEFA Europa League winners, Atalanta, on August 14 in Varsovia.
