Warsaw was the city where Kylian Mbappe officially debuted for Real Madrid. The Frenchman played, scored a goal, and helped the Royals win the UEFA Super Cup. After the match, he handed over his historic jersey to his father, Wilfried Mbappe.

The transfer of Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid had been discussed for years. The transfer saga involving the global football star was often considered one of the longest in recent decades. Ultimately, signing Kylian Mbappe with the Spanish champions became a reality.

On Wednesday, the Frenchman debuted for the Royals at the PGE National Stadium in Warsaw. In the UEFA Super Cup match, which took place in the capital of Poland, Real Madrid won 2-0 against Atalanta BC.

The new player of Carlo Ancelotti's team showed promise, although he had just recently returned from vacation after Euro 2024. Kylian Mbappe scored a goal in his debut, contributing to the victory against the Italian opponent. It is known to whom he handed over his historic debut jersey shortly after the match.

Kylian Mbappe approached his father, Wilfried, who was in Warsaw on Wednesday. The Frenchman warmly greeted his father and chatted with him. They most likely discussed their impressions after the debut.

Wilfried Mbappe is a great enthusiast of his son's move to the prestigious club from Madrid. He accompanied his son during the presentation in the Royal colours. After the official part, he went to the club's store and bought 1000 Real jerseys named Mbappe. He paid over 27,000 CAD for them.

Kylian Mbappe's huge fans can now watch his moves in Real Madrid. The beginnings are promising, and soon, the Frenchman will also be seen in La Liga and the Champions League. He aims to dominate European football with Vinicius Junior, Jude Bellingham, and Luka Modric.
