Although in his first season in Spain, Kylian Mbappe has failed to win a trophy for Real Madrid.
However, his season is nothing short of spectacular in terms of the goals he scored.
The French sensation came to Madrid to score goals and win games for his dream club.
He scored 42 goals in 55 appearances for the Los Blancos. 31 out of those 42 goals came in the La Liga.
Mbappe won the Golden Boot in his first season in La Liga but failed to win the crown for his team.
It was their arch-rivals Barcelona who won the La Liga.
Kylian Mbappe wanted to follow in the footsteps of his idol Cristiano Ronaldo by joining Real Madrid.
Ronaldo is a Real Madrid legend and nobody can deny that. The Portuguese international used to don the iconic number 7 jersey which he took from Raul after his retirement.
Currently, Vinicius Junior is the player who wears that iconic number 7 jersey for Real Madrid.
The Brazilian international was also close to winning the Ballon d’Or last year.
Kylian Mbappe will not wear the number 7 jersey as Vinicius Junior will continue to wear it.
However, Kylian Mbappe is ready to wear another iconic jersey number that will become vacant after the FIFA Club World Cup.
Luka Modric has done enough for Real Madrid to earn a legend’s status at the club.
He will be leaving Real Madrid after the FIFA Club World Cup.
The Croatian international used to wear the number 10 jersey which is also an iconic jersey in the history of Real Madrid.
Legends such as Ferenc Puskas, Gheorghe Hagi, Fernando Hierro, and many others have donned that number for the Los Blancos.
According to Edu Aguirre (via El Chiringuito TV), Real Madrid will give Kylian Mbappe the number 10 jersey after the Club World Cup as it will be vacant due to the departure of Luka Modric.
Mbappe wears the number 10 jersey for the French national side. Now, he will look to take the legacy of the number 10 jersey of Real Madrid forward.
🤝 “El REAL MADRID le OFRECERÁ el ’10’ a MBAPPÉ”.
