“You have achieved your dream because you have never given up. You are here because you wanted to be, only your willpower has been able to overcome adversity. Thank you for making an effort that many can’t even imagine to be able to wear this white shirt, the one with 15 European Cups”, he continued.

“Your family is with you. They have seen your effort and sacrifice to overcome everything and face your great challenges. You come to Real Madrid with a great track record. I thank you for your unconditional love and passion for Real Madrid. Kylian, welcome to your home. Welcome to Real Madrid,” concluded Florentino.
