Kylian Mbappe makes gestures and movements very similar to Cristiano Ronaldo 15 years ago.
To end his Real Madrid debut speech, Mbappe shouted the slogan: “1, 2, 3, Hala Madrid”. The French striker raised both hands to the sky. Mbappe made every gesture and word similar to Ronaldo when he debuted for Real in 2009.
Even Mbappe’s gesture of kissing the Real logo is very similar to CR7’s. This action of Mbappe immediately attracted attention. Most fans believe that the 25-year-old striker had closely followed Ronaldo’s debut 15 years ago. Mbappe himself also admitted that CR7 was his idol since childhood and a shining example to follow.
Mbappe had a grand Real debut ceremony witnessed by 80,000 spectators at the Bernabeu. Spanish media confirmed that this was also the record for the most attended debut in history, set by Ronaldo himself in 2009.
“Hello everyone. It’s great to be here. I’ve dreamed of playing for Real Madrid for many years and today my dream has come true. I’m a happy boy,” Mbappe said on his unveiling.

Mbappe joining Real Madrid can be considered a “blockbuster” in the summer transfer window of 2024. However, the French striker will certainly face a big challenge if he wants to create a great legacy like Ronaldo at the Bernabeu.
Mbappe smiled and greeted French legend Zinedine Zidane in front of a large crowd at the Bernabeu. Mbappe promises to form a formidable attacking quartet with Jude Bellingham, Vinicius and Rodrygo next season.
Before his debut, Mbappe was taken on a tour of Real’s trophy room by President Florentino Perez. He gave the new player a watch and a replica of the Bernabeu stadium. In front of Mbappe were the 15 Champions League titles of the “White Vultures”. This is also the title that Mbappe still lacks at the club level.
