Mbappé: “My dream is to live up to the history of the best club in the world"
“I'm so happy and grateful for the love shown to me by all the madridistas,” he told Realmadrid TV.
Mbappé gave his first interview as a new Real Madrid player to Realmadrid TV, where he discussed his arrival at our club: "This is a dream come true. It's such a privilege to form part of the Real Madrid family. This is one of the greatest days of my life. I have dreamed of this for so many years, and now it's a reality, I am a Real Madrid player. I'm so happy and grateful for the love shown to me by all the madridistas."
Playing for Real Madrid
“It means so much to me. Many years ago, ever since I was a little kid, I've dreamed of playing for Madrid. Then it became a goal of mine because once I became a professional player, it was always my objective to end up here. Now I have another dream: to live up to the history of this club; the best club in the world. I want to give my all for these colours and for this crest."
The 15 Champions League titles
“It's unbelievable. To come in here, the press room at the greatest club in the world, is an honour for me. I can't wait to see everyone, meet the players and start playing."
Florentino Pérez
“He's a hugely important person to me; he's had faith in me from day one and he's always helped me and my family. That will remain in my heart. I will do everything I can, both on the pitch and off it, to make him happy. For me, he's the best president in the world."
His visit 12 years ago
“I remember I was just a kid, dreaming of making it to Madrid. I didn't even think about playing then, I was just focused on watching the players. It's incredible that just a little over 10 years later, I'm here as a player. It was a dream and now it's come true. I'm so happy. I got the chance to meet Zidane and Cristiano, who I speak to all the time. It was just a real pleasure."
Lifelong madridista
“It was always a passion of mine. I used to watch all the games with my brothers and my friends. I used to tell myself, in my mind, that one day it would be me out there, and now my time has come. I'm a Real Madrid player and I'm delighted. I think about the road I have taken to get here and it makes me incredibly excited and emotional."
Speaking Spanish
“It's not perfect, no. I can get by. I knew I would be playing here one day so I wanted to learn so I could be ready to adapt to the club and the Spanish culture as quickly as possible. I think it will help me to settle in."
Message for the madridistas
“Hey, madridistas. I'm absolutely thrilled to be a Real Madrid player. Thank you for all the warmth and love you've shown me since day one, even before I signed. It truly fills my heart. I'll give my life for this crest and for this club. Hala Madrid!”
