Kylian Mbappé is officially a Real Madrid player. The Frenchman was presented at the Santiago Bernabéu stadium in Madrid – in front of over 70,000 supporters, according to AS.

I'm in the best club in history, exclaimed Mbappé during the presentation.

There was no European Championship gold for Kylian Mbappé's France. But the sorrow was short-lived. The faces were all the more joyful when the Frenchman met the Real Madrid supporters for the first time in front of a nearly full Santiago Bernabéu in Madrid.

I want to thank President Florentino (Pérez, club president) and everyone who has made it possible for me to be here. My family is incredibly happy today. I see that my mom is crying. It's an incredible, incredible day. Ever since I was a child, I've dreamed of playing here, and it means so much, says Mbappé, while the fans chant his name.

Kylian Mbappé left, after many twists and turns, PSG on a free transfer to Real Madrid after choosing not to extend his contract with the French club.

The agreement was made public already in early June, but only now did the 25-year-old meet his new home crowd in Real Madrid's match jersey.

Mbappé also took the opportunity to send a greeting to the younger supporters.

I want to send a message to all the children out there. I had a dream, and today I'm fulfilling it. I only have one piece of advice: with hard work and passion, you can also fulfill your dreams. One day, it could be you standing here. I'm very moved, it's so big for me to be here, continues Mbappé.

Kylian Mbappé will wear the jersey number nine in his new club.
