French striker Kylian Mbappé recently reflected on his failed move to Real Madrid two years ago, a pivotal moment that remains significant in his career. “The past is behind me, and now I live in the present. I want to enjoy every second of this experience,” he said at the press conference. “It’s a historic day, and one day I’ll tell my children about it.”

Mbappé's journey at Real Madrid has been tumultuous, filled with expectations and pressures. He stressed his desire to fully embrace this new chapter, expressing his excitement for the challenges ahead. "Wearing this legendary jersey is a huge honour," he said, highlighting the legacy he leaves at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium. His official presentation on 16 July marked a momentous occasion, as fans and media gathered to celebrate his arrival.

Officially joining Real Madrid on June 3, Mbappe joins from Paris Saint-Germain, where he enjoyed remarkable success.
