A Long-Awaited Move
Mbappe’s move to Real Madrid has been one of the worst-kept secrets in football.

Despite his success in France, Mbappe leaves PSG without having secured a Champions League title, a feat he will now aim to achieve with Real Madrid.
Trophy Parade in Madrid
To celebrate their Champions League victory, Real Madrid will hold a trophy parade in the city on Sunday evening. The parade will include stops at the city hall, the cathedral, the statue of Cibeles, and finally, the Santiago Bernabéu.

Kylian Mbappe’s transfer to Real Madrid marks the end of a long and dramatic saga. With his arrival, Real Madrid’s already formidable squad is set to become even stronger, promising a decade of dominance in European football. This move is not just a significant moment for Real Madrid but also one of the greatest transfer stories in football history.
