At last, Kylian Mbappe to Real Madrid is officially done. Both parties announced the news, leaving fans waiting for the Frenchman to now just grace the Bernabeu. As the soccer world went in disbelief over his move, Mbappe’s emotions ran high after receiving a message from his ‘idol‘ Cristiano Ronaldo. Yet, the surprise didn’t end there as he even got special treatment from none other than CR7’s sister.

Yesterday, Mbappe took to Instagram and shared a carousal of posts of his teenager donning a Real Madrid jacket as he kisses Los Blancos’ badge outside the club’s facilities. “A dream come true. So happy and proud to join the club of my dream @realmadrid. Nobody can understand how excited I am right now. Can’t wait to see you, Madridistas, and thanks for your unbelievable support. ¡Hala Madrid!” he added a caption.

While his 117 million followers rushed over to react to the comments, joining the bandwagon was none other than Ronaldo’s elder sister, Katia Aveiro. Also a renowned Portuguese singer, Katia commented: “👏👏👏👏.” While it might seem like a typical congratulatory comment, what if we told you this is something she has never done before? Throughout Ronaldo’s domestic and international career, Katia has apparently never been seen commenting or congratulating other soccer stars for their success. But the intrigue doesn’t end here!

Katia and Mbappe don’t even follow each other. In fact, other than Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez, no other soccer star follows her. Yet, the Portuguese superstar’s elder sister came across the World Cup winner’s announcement and decided to give her reaction. However, the answer to Katia giving Mbappe special treatment may also lie in the picture he shared alongside Ronaldo, which somehow made the 25-year-old quite emotional.

Cristiano Ronaldo’s message made Kylian Mbappe very ’emotional’

In the same carousel post shared by Kylian Mbappe, there was also a picture of him posing with Cristiano Ronaldo. This led the Al Nassr star to react on the post saying, “My turn to 👀 Excited to see you light up the Bernabéu. ⚽️💪 #HalaMadrid.” During the press conference ahead of international friendlies, when asked about his comment, Mbappe said, “Cristiano Ronaldo is my idol. His message made me emotional.”

We can understand the emotions of Mbappe. After all, not everyone gets a chance to pan out a career by trailing the footsteps of their idols. The French international is certainly one-of-a-kind talent and playing for the club he always dreamt of is an achievement on its own. For now, let the Madristas celebrate their latest signing, while Kylian Mbappe basks in the stardom and special treatment from figures like his idol’s sister.
