Kylian Mbappe's long-awaited arrival at Real Madrid sparked joyous reactions in the Spanish press and amongst the club's fans on Tuesday, though the French superstar will know he must live up to his billing on the pitch.
The official announcement of the 15-time Champions League winners' latest star signing on Monday was a seismic event in Madrid. After seven years of rumors and anticipation, Mbappe had finally landed at the "club of (his) dreams."
"What you dreamed of," proclaimed the front page of Marca, alongside a photo edit of Mbappe wearing a Madrid shirt, in response to the 25-year-old's social media post in which he referred to the move as "a dream come true."
