The French star’s move to the Spanish giants ended a long transfer saga that lasted more than two years. During the presentation, Mbappé paid tribute to Ronaldo, who also wore the same shirt when he transferred from Manchester United to Real Madrid in 2009. The Bernabéu was filled with an enthusiastic crowd, with an expected attendance of 85,000 fans, reminiscent of the record reception of Ronaldo 15 years ago. In honor of his idol, Mbappé recreated Ronaldo’s famous greeting: “uno, dos, tres, Hala Madrid!” for the fans.
This tribute was not only a tribute to Ronaldo, but also a declaration of Mbappé’s deep admiration for the Portuguese star. After his presentation, Mbappé said in his first press conference at Real: “Ending the presentation with ‘Un, dos, tres, Hala Madrid’ was a tribute to Cristiano Ronaldo. He is a friend who made history at this club. He always gave me advice about the game and staying connected to your passion.” Mbappé added about being seen as a ‘galactic’ signing: “I’m still a nobody at Real, I haven’t played a single game.
Receiving such a reception when I haven’t done anything here yet is incredible. Thanks to the fans. I want to show on the field what I can do. There is no better place to win titles. If I adapt well, everything will work out. I will put my energy into this to adapt to the team, that is priority number 1.” Expectations are immense for Mbappé, who inherits the number 9 shirt that once belonged to Ronaldo. The former Paris Saint-Germain striker will be expected to prove himself when Real Madrid open their new La Liga season away to Mallorca on August 18. Related Posts.
