Just arrived at Real Madrid, Mbappe has already been set targets by a legend

Marcelo and Iker Casillas immediately stated that Kylian Mbappe arrival at Real Madrid would bring the club their 16th Champions League title.

Kylian Mbappe – one of the best players in the world – has finally realized his dream of joining Real Madrid after years of waiting and speculation. This event is not only a transfer success for the Spanish club but also brings new hope for expanding Los Blancos’ great legacy in the continental arena.

For Mbappe, the Champions League remains an unfulfilled dream. Despite achieving nearly every possible glory in his career – from winning the World Cup with the French national team to numerous domestic titles with Paris Saint-Germain – the Champions League trophy has always eluded him.

At PSG, he came closest in 2020 with a final appearance and most recently reached the semi-finals against Borussia Dortmund. Yet the trophy has remained out of his grasp after all these years.

Now, having officially joined Real Madrid, many believe that Mbappe has come to the right place to achieve his Champions League dream. Not only because of the club’s illustrious history in this tournament but also because the winning culture is deeply embedded in the team’s DNA. Real Madrid doesn’t just participate in the Champions League – they live and breathe it.

Two club legends, Iker Casillas and Marcelo, were the first to express their faith in Mbappe’s bright future at Madrid. Both former captains, who have experienced many glorious nights in the Champions League, understand the team’s winning spirit.

Casillas, the legendary goalkeeper who won three Champions League trophies with Madrid, welcomed Mbappe directly on social media platform X (formerly Twitter).

“Welcome to the best club in the world!” he wrote. “It’s never too late if happiness is good. With you, the path to the 16th trophy has begun…”.

Meanwhile, Marcelo, the talented Brazilian defender who spent 15 years with Madrid and won 5 Champions League trophies, couldn’t hide his excitement. Under Real Madrid’s official post about signing Mbappe, he commented: “The 16th Champions League trophy is coming. Oh my Madrid…”.

Both legends believe that with Kylian Mbappe, Real Madrid is ready for the journey to their 16th Champions League trophy.

Casillas and Marcelo’s confidence is not unfounded. Just days before announcing this deal, Real Madrid won the Champions League final, bringing their total titles to 15 – a record that seems unbreakable.

This victory not only solidified their status as a dominant force in European football but also reminded the world that Real Madrid’s Champions League spirit is as strong as ever.

Mbappe joining Madrid at this time only heightens expectations. The 25-year-old striker is at the peak of his career, having proven his abilities at the highest levels for both club and country. He promises to bring a perfect combination of speed, technique, and goal-scoring instincts – qualities that have made many Real Madrid legends in the past.
