Kylian Mbappe, the 26-year-old French football sensation, has been named the new bearer of Real Madrid's prestigious number 10 jersey. The announcement came after Luka Modric's move to AC Milan, leaving behind a legacy at the Spanish club.

Mbappe, who joined Real Madrid on a free transfer from Paris St Germain, first sported the number nine during his debut season. Although he delivered an impressive performance with 44 goals across all competitions in the 2024-25 season, the team fell short of capturing any major titles.

Following in the footsteps of Real Madrid legends like Ferenc Puskas, Michael Laudrup, and Mesut Ozil, Mbappe joins the ranks of elite footballers who have donned the coveted number 10 jersey, a symbol of excellence and creativity on the field.
