    Tickets to the ceremony sold out rapidly after going on sale on Friday, according to AS. More than 85 per cent were sold by the end of the first day and are now all gone. There will be around 80,000 Madrid supporters in attendance to see Mbappe.

    After scoring 256 goals in just over 300 matches for French giants PSG, Mbappe will sign a contract with Madrid that keeps him at the European and Spanish champions until 2029. The attacker has great expectations to live up to as he joins the likes of Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior and fellow France stars Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga in Carlo Ancelotti’s team.
