Kylian Mbappe was revealed as the new Real Madrid N ° 10
Real Madrid officially handed over the legendary number 10 shirt to Kylian Mbappe, a decision that looks like a new era in the Spanish capital.
The revelation came quietly but powerfully. Last week, Mbappe published a simple “10” on X without images or explanation.
It was all that fans and experts needed to connect the points. On Tuesday, Real Madrid made it official by updating its squad list on the club's website, confirming the 26 -year -old player as new n ° 10.
The legends shirt
During his first season at La Liga, Mbappe wore n ° 9 while Luka Modric kept the 10 he had for more than a decade.
With the departure of Modric to join AC Milan at the end of his contract, the famous number was released – and Madrid did not waste time offering it to their talisman.
Shirt No. 10 has a rich story in Real Madrid, previously carried by stars such as Luis Figo, James Rodriguez, Mesut Ozil, Robinho and, more recently, Modric.
A familiar role for the captain of France
Although Mbappe has not always worn the number 10 club football, the shirt is part of its international identity.
For France, he led the attack to wear 10 and he briefly tasted the number at the start of his start in Monaco, but it was the first time that he will wear it full time at the club level.
The wait is now for Mbappe to kiss the shirt a bit like Zinedine Zidane and Luka Modric before him.
A commercial power game
This decision concerns business as much as on football. Real Madrid is preparing to officially unveil the new kit in the coming days, the initiates already predicting record demand.
When Mbappe signed for the first time and received shirt No. 9, the request for jerseys was so intense that Adidas was forced to delay deliveries per week.
With the prestige of number 10 and the power of Mbappe star now combined, the overvoltage of orders could overshadow these figures.
