It was quite an enthralling international break for the soccer world. But now, as it comes to an end, we turn our attention back towards the domestic scene. The excitement to see clubs with a fresh coat of paint has reached its zenith—especially at Real Madrid, who have someone special waiting to make his debut—none other than Kylian Mbappe. With that, everyone is eager to know when the Galactico will be officially revealed by Los Blancos in front of thousands of fans.

When and how to watch Kylian Mbappe’s Real Madrid presentation?

Kylian Mbappe will be officially unveiled as a Real Madrid player on Tuesday, July 16, 2024, at 10:00 GMT, 12 PM local time. The ceremony is set to take place in the iconic Bernabeu Stadium, where a crowd of over 85,000 is expected to gather and witness the Frenchman don the white jersey for the very first time. Interestingly, Mbappe is expected to break the attendance record set by Cristiano Ronaldo back in 2009, when the Portuguese icon arrived from Manchester United for a record fee of over $100 million.

But unlike CR7, Mbappe is coming to Real Madrid from PSG on a free transfer. The similarity extends to the fact that the 25-year-old will be given the No. 9, just like when Ronaldo arrived. Lucky fans were able to grab free tickets for the presentation. However, those who missed out can watch Mbappe walk down the Bernabeu for the first time on Real Madrid’s official streaming service app, ‘RM Play,’ which can be downloaded via the Google Play Store for Android users and the App Store for iPhone users.

Notably, Mbappe will first arrive at the Spanish capital’s headquarters in the morning to sign the official contract alongside president Florentino Perez. He will then change from his suit into the new Real Madrid kit and juggle the ball in front of thousands of fans. After that, a press conference will be held where he will address the press. Regardless, now that the details of his presentation are known, when can we expect the former Monaco man to kick the ball for Los Blancos?

When will Kylian Mbappe play for Real Madrid?

Notably, Carlo Ancelotti’s side will kick-off their preseason journey on August 1 with a friendly against AC Milan. While it remains to be seen if he will get minutes against the Serie A side, Kylian Mbappe will definitely play his first-ever game for Real Madrid on August 4. It is going to be a friendly El Classico against FC Barcelona. Though other Real Madrid players will begin their training on Monday, Mbappe will get a few more days off.

This is because the former PSG star is coming with a disappointment in the recent UEFA Euro 2024. The skipper led France till the semifinals. However, Didier Deschamp’s side was knocked out by Spain, who eventually were crowned the winners on Sunday with a remarkable win over England in the finals. Likewise, club medics will first analyze his broken nose injury, which he sustained during the group stages. Hence, after a full medical check-up, he shall begin with his new chapter.
