For the Bernabeu, Real Madrid has said that Kylian Mbappe will wear the No. 9 shirt, just like Cristiano Ronaldo did.

Then what did really happen?

The Real Madrid team has said that they will wear the No. 9 shirt when they play at Santiago Bernabeu. Cristiano Ronaldo wore this shirt when he first joined the team, before he decided to wear his famous No. 7. For Luka Modric’s sake, news sources say Mbappe didn’t ask for his favourite number 10, which he wears for France.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Before the 2024 Euros, Mbappe had a bad season. He then left for Real. The winner of the World Cup only scored one goal as France made it to the semi-finals. They lost to Spain after a 1-1 game with Poland, who was already out. It has been worn by Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, Emilio Butragueno, and Alfredo Di Stefano from Brazil and Portugal, so he can keep the history of the No. 9 shirt alive. He needs to do well.

DID YOU KNOW?

On his way to 308 games, Mbappe scored 256 goals and set up 108 more. This is a great song. He has also scored 48 goals in 84 games for France as a 25-year-old.

WHAT NEXT?

Real will play during a pre-season tour of the United States before the UEFA Super Cup final against Atalanta. They have games against AC Milan, Barcelona, and Chelsea.
