Real Madrid made a bold move by handing Kylian Mbappé the legendary No.10 shirt after Luka Modric’s departure. More than a shirt change, it turned into a strategic masterstroke.
Mbappé, the new marketing king. According to Sport, the Frenchman’s No.10 jersey is flying off the shelves: 345,000 sold in just 48 hours, smashing even the Cristiano Ronaldo effect from 2009.
Mbappé Ready to Lead Real
Until now, Mbappé mainly shone through stats (44 goals last season) without truly being a leader. This season, he looks different: smile back, four kilos lost for extra sharpness, and a clear intent to help both in attack and defense, notes Sport.
“The No.10 is special here, but so was the No.9. What matters is playing at the Bernabéu and giving joy to the fans,” Mbappé said. Already on three goals in two games, the Frenchman looks ready to embrace his role as Real Madrid’s leader.
