If so, it must be very rare. In fact, many social media users swear they have never done it. Mbappe kisses the trophies PSG has won but never does the same on the chest.
Real Madrid is Mbappe’s love
On July 16, in just 10 minutes at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium (Spain), Mbappe repeatedly kissed the Real Madrid logo during his new team’s introduction. An action that caught the attention of many people.
That moment revealed the truth: it was Real Madrid, not PSG, that brought happiness to the French striker. PSG helped Mbappe live a luxurious life with a huge income, Real Madrid was the place to raise his class, helping the 25-year-old striker fulfill his childhood dream.
Standing in front of a large crowd of Real Madrid fans, Mbappe spoke fluent Spanish. If he integrates quickly with “Los Blancos”, the 2018 World Cup champion will surely win matches, score many goals and win titles. Mbappe has scored points with Spanish fans. He himself has also prepared very carefully for his debut with the team.
Everyone knows that Mbappe is fluent in Spanish, having learned the language as a child, but the way he spoke at the Bernabeu left fans in awe. Every word, every grammar, everything was perfect.
Language is the first element that helps people integrate with each other. It brings benefits to users in relationships and removes communication barriers.

Another important factor that leads to success for new players is attitude. And in this aspect, Mbappe knows how to behave; he is humble. He cleverly conveys the message to Real Madrid fans that he has always dreamed of playing for the club since he was a child. Therefore, the French striker has set a clear roadmap, with the first task being to learn Spanish.
Mbappe repeatedly said, “Real Madrid is my dream destination”. This continues to help the 25-year-old star win over the fans of “Los Blancos”. At the same time, it is a way to erase the past when this striker refused to join the Madrid representative 2 years ago to continue his association with PSG.
However, Mbappe has his own reasons. Any player wants his family to have a comfortable life. PSG helps Mbappe ensure that aspect. However, the French striker no longer wants to remember this.
During his Real Madrid debut as a new player, Mbappe did not have any words of thanks to PSG. “You can’t buy a dream” was the strongest phrase uttered by the French striker and it reflected that in Paris, Mbappe was no different from a “mercenary”. But for Real Madrid, this was the love and desire of the French striker.
Mbappe’s new chapter
Mbappe could have stayed at PSG and become a symbol of the club. He would have also been immersed in a sea of money. But by joining Real Madrid, the French striker chose to fulfill his youthful dream, even though two years ago it was the opposite.
In life, anyone can make mistakes and is allowed to correct them. Through moving to Real Madrid, Mbappe realized that money sometimes cannot bring him complete happiness. At the Bernabeu, the 25-year-old striker had to take a big pay cut compared to when he played for PSG.
At PSG, Mbappe is just a “mercenary.”.

Mbappe also wanted to implicitly criticize the French club for its bad treatment of him in the final year of his contract. It was like a nightmare. The French striker did not share specifically what happened at PSG in the 2023–24 season, but everyone knows what it is.
In May, L’Equipe reported that PSG and Mbappe were about to enter a legal dispute over money. Earlier in the season, the French striker was isolated by the club after refusing to renew his contract.
The French media reported that PSG, angry at failing to convince Mbappe to renew his contract, deliberately did not pay his April salary and a bonus due in February. This amount is around 80 million euros, equal to the amount the Paris representative spent to pay the loyalty fee for the French striker.
On July 16, Mbappe officially joined Real Madrid. A new beginning for the player himself and the Spanish Royal team. In 2009, Cristiano Ronaldo came to “Los Blancos” to create great things for himself and the club. Now it is Mbappe’s turn to do the same.
More than a decade ago, when Mbappe was 13, he had the opportunity to visit Real Madrid’s Ciudad Deportiva. Zinedine Zidane accompanied the French striker at that time. 12 years later, “Zizou” appeared with Mbappe at Real Madrid. There were questions about why the 2018 World Cup champion did not join “Los Blancos” sooner.
“A lot of things can happen in football,” Mbappe said. “Finally, I’m here. Real Madrid is the greatest club in the world, and I feel very honored to be here.”
