The soap opera between Mbappé and Madrid is finally over. The arrival of the captain of the Blues was made official on Monday June 3, at exactly 7:28 p.m., by Real Madrid. Are Madrid fans happy with the news? Overall, yes, if we are to believe these “Mbappe !” chanted by very young supporters in the stadium shop, five minutes after the announcement, schoolchildren from Murcia, in the south-east of Spain, on a school trip to Madrid.

Jose Manuel, in his fifties, is also happy: “Real played in the final, we won it, and two days later Mbappé’s contract was made official. I’m super happy! He’s a great player, a very great one. But now he has to come and work like the others, be a player like the others”.

No “Mbappé mania” in Madrid. Real fans are used to winning and bringing in the best players in the world. For them, it’s normal. What is much less so, for an average Madrilenian, is that a player refuses, makes himself desired like Mbappé in 2022.

And some have not forgotten that the player dared to tell them “no”. “It was something that upset the fansremembers Fulgencio very well, originally from Murcia. All the players in the world want to come to Real, and Mbappé was asking for it. But I believe that this time his ambition prevailed. He said to himself: ‘I have to go to a big club’, and there is nothing better than Real.” “I feel joy and at the same time resentment because he didn’t come when he was supposed to, two years agoadmits Iker, in his thirties.

“In Paris, he did what he wanted. Here, no, we’re not going to allow him.”

“Here, he is in the greatest team in the world and he is not going to have the rights and privileges that he had at PSG,” Iker warned. To the wise.

For the moment, Real Madrid has not yet put on sale the jersey of its new recruit. We have to wait for the release of the 2024-2025 outfit. “Mbappé’s jersey is already available on the pirate marketexplains Luìs, a Mexican who came to Europe with his family to cheer for Real. But we are waiting to buy the official jersey with the 15 Real Champions Leagues.”

What supporters especially want is for Mbappé to score goals. If the Frenchman is decisive on the field, if he contributes to winning the sixteenth, the seventeenth and more big-eared cups, he will quickly discover all the affection that the Santaigo-Berbabéu is capable of displaying. His presentation, which we say here will take place after the Euro, will be a good way to take the temperature. Mbappé will surely find the right words to convince and seduce his new audience.
