Kylian Mbappé was finally presented by Real Madrid at the Santiago Bernabeu, where thousands of fans were in attendance. The French player wore the Real Madrid jersey for the first time with his name and the number 9 on the back of his shirt. This signing is one of the biggest transfers in football in the last decade.

One of the other big transfers that happened recently was when PSG signed Lionel Messi after the Argentine star couldn't continue at FC Barcelona, the club he has been at for many years.

In his presentation at PSG at the Parc des Princes, Messi was welcomed by around 45,000 fans. No one expected Messi to play for another team after FC Barcelona and PSG fans were really excited to receive him in the summer of 2021. Mbappé's presentation almost doubled that amount as there were around 80,000 fans at the Santiago Bernabeu.

This presentation is among the biggest in football history and tied as the biggest presentation Real Madrid has ever held for a new player. Mbappé is seen as the future of Real Madrid and the next big legend of the club since he is already one of the best players in the world. Being unveiled as a new Real Madrid player at the Santiago Bernabeu has caught lots of attention across the world due to his popularity as a football player.

Mbappé and Cristiano Ronaldo hold the record for having the biggest attendance at a presentation in football history, and both were at the Santiago Bernabeu. Below them is Diego Armando Maradona, who had around 75,000 fans in attendance for his presentation at Napoli.

Relevo reports that Mbappé's Real Madrid presentation holds the record for second highest worldwide views of 3.2 Billion, surpassing Cristiano Ronaldo's Al Nassr presentation of 3 Billion worldwide views. Lionel Messi has the highest worldwide views of Inter Miami presentations with 3.5 Billion views. Mbappé had a press conference after the presentation at the Santiago Bernabeu

Mbappé on joining Real Madrid

Mbappé was very happy about joining Real Madrid, and he showed it through his smile and his words during the presentation. Zinedine Zidane joined him on the main stage, and it made it one of the best Real Madrid presentations ever. Mbappé said it was a dream come true for him to join the club.

Kylian Mbappé spoke about joining the club and said, "My dream came true today. I’m happy, I’m really happy. It feels incredible to be here. I’ve slept many years dreaming of Real Madrid and now… it’s reality."

Mbappé joined the club as a free transfer and he is ready for the new season with Real Madrid. After a weak participation in the Euro 2024, he wants to turn the page immediately and adapt to the team as soon as possible. After his presentation he looks like a happy guy, different from what he was living in PSG. The 2018 World Cup winner is prepared to be a new legend for "Los Blancos".

As he mentioned before, he has been always a Real Madrid fan, and he even shout the "HALA MADRID" to the stands today in his presentation. Mbappé's main goal for this season will be winning his first UEFA Champions League, and the 16th for the team.
