'Unbelievable to be here': Real Madrid present their new star Mbappé

Kylian Mbappé fulfilled a childhood dream on Tuesday when he officially wore a Real Madrid shirt for the first time at his presentation at the record European Cup winners.

Real put on a big show for the French superstar attended by some 85,000 fans under the closed roof of Santiago Bernabeu Stadium.

“Wow, it is unbelievable to be here. Since being a kid I dreamed about playing for Madrid. Today my dream came true. I am a happy boy," Mbappé said in Spanish.

Mbappé's parents, Fayza and Wilfried, were present along with past club greats including Zinédine Zidane and Raúl Gonzalez. The record 15 European Cup trophies were also on display on the stage.

The 2018 World Cup winner had earlier in the day undergone the mandatory medical before changing into a black suit and signing a five-year contract until 2029.

Mbappé then wore the number 9 shirt vacant since last year's departure of compatriot Karim Benzema, with his usual number 10 shirt still used by Luka Modric.

He arrives on a free transfer after seven years at Paris Saint-Germain. Real are his first stop abroad as he started his professional career at French league side Monaco from where he went to PSG in 2017.

The Bernabeu was full for a presentation for the first time since 2009 when Cristiano Ronnaldo arrived from Manchester United.

Mbappé has named Ronaldo a big idol, and a video of a young Mbappé together with Ronaldo was shown on the big screen in the stadium.
