According to Spanish newspaper Marca, the arrival of Kylian Mbappe at Real Madrid continues to create a frenzy in Spain. On Thursday, sales of the French football superstar’s new jersey broke historical records for Real Madrid. Immediately following this, tickets for his official unveiling were released and sparked a rush. His presentation ceremony is scheduled for next Tuesday at 12 PM local time.
While only club members could obtain tickets for Mbappe’s unveiling ceremony, Real Madrid’s official website saw a surge of approximately 100,000 visitors on its payment platform, far exceeding the club’s expectations.
The massive attention has given rise to speculation in the ticket market. On some online platforms, tickets for Mbappe’s unveiling ceremony have been resold for as high as €100 each. It’s worth noting that these tickets were originally provided free of charge.
Mbappe’s move has undoubtedly caused a stir. Despite concerns voiced on forums about a potentially lukewarm reception from fans due to his complicated history with Real Madrid, his arrival has not only ignited the passion of Madrid supporters but also surpassed the impact of Cristiano Ronaldo’s arrival 15 years ago.
At the time, the Portuguese superstar’s first appearance at the Santiago Bernabeu attracted over 80,000 spectators, and legendary players Alfredo Di Stefano and Eusebio were specially invited as his honorary presenters.
Real Madrid’s upper echelons are convinced that Mbappe’s personal appeal can match or even exceed that of Ronaldo. After all, the club had waited seven long years to sign the French prodigy. His arrival has added further luster to the team that won both La Liga and the Champions League last season.
Undoubtedly, the magnetism of superstars in the football world is immeasurable, and Mbappe is undoubtedly one of the most attractive stars in today’s football scene.
