Mbappe's jersey 'sold out'
On July 16, Kylian Mbappe had a grand Real Madrid debut at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium, watched live by 85,000 fans at the stadium and millions of viewers around the world.
The superstar born in 1998 joined Real Madrid after his contract with Paris Saint-Germain expired. Although he has not yet played for the Spanish royal team, Mbappe has set impressive numbers.
Mbappe's number 9 shirt is highly sought after
Besides the nearly 90,000 spectators who filled the Santiago Bernabeu stadium, an unprecedented number for the debut of a new Real Madrid player, Mbappe also showed his brand coverage when his number 9 shirt was continuously sought after by fans.
Even before the launch, Mbappe's No. 9 shirt was "sold out" on all jersey shelves, with tens of thousands of pre-orders from fans. According to Marca , after Mbappe's debut ceremony, all Mbappe jerseys on all online platforms as well as in stores were sold out. There were only a very few oversized (XXXL) shirts that had not been sold out, and Adidas did not have time to produce enough Mbappe jerseys to sell to fans.
Mbappe: 'I want to hug Ronaldo'
During the presentation ceremony, Mbappe repeatedly kissed the Real Madrid shirt logo. The Bondy-born superstar affirmed that playing for Real Madrid was his dream when he was young, and that he had wanted to join the Spanish team for 3 years, but only now could he achieve his wish.
"I feel very honored to be able to say that I am a Real Madrid player. This has been my dream since childhood and I have waited for this moment for a long time. Now the dream has come true. You cannot buy a dream with money.
Mbappe made his debut in front of more than 85,000 fans
I wanted to come to Real Madrid since I was a kid. At first it was just a childish dream, then it became a goal that I yearned for. I knew that it was my destiny to play for Real Madrid. Luckily this day has finally come. I am very happy and I want to enjoy it.
It's true that I almost signed for Real Madrid 2 or 3 years ago, but who knows, that's the life of a footballer. I've left the past behind and now I only think about the present. Today will be a big milestone in my life," Mbappe affirmed.
Notably, Mbappe repeated what Cristiano Ronaldo did at his Real Madrid debut 15 years ago. At that time, Ronaldo shouted "1, 2, 3, Hala Madrid". This action was also repeated by Mbappe, when the French striker affirmed that he wanted to pay tribute to his idol Ronaldo.
"I paid tribute to my idol Cristiano Ronaldo at the launch (Hồ 1, 2, 3, Hala Madrid). He and I often text each other. Ronaldo always gives me a lot of valuable advice. I want to send him a hug.
Mbappe wants to win every title with Real Madrid
My first memory as a Real Madrid fan is Zinedine Zidane. For the French people, Zidane is a monument. We watched all his matches at Real Madrid. Later, my idol was Cristiano Ronaldo, I watched all his matches. After that, I couldn't watch either of them because I had to play too," Mbappe confided.
Real Madrid are the reigning LaLiga and Champions League champions. With Mbappe, president Florentino Perez's team will be like "a tiger with wings", after already having Vinicius Jr, Rodrydo or Jude Bellingham in the squad.
"There is no better place than Real Madrid to win the championship. My priority now is to integrate well, then other good things will come. I set the goal of winning the Champions League, LaLiga, the King's Cup and all the other titles. But those are long-term goals. For now, my goal is to train to be in the best physical condition," Mbappe emphasized.
