He couldn’t miss it. On their journey from Medellin to Madrid, via Porto and Lisbon, Miguel and Ana, two 27-year-old Colombians, didn’t hesitate to stop by the Real Madrid store. Their goal: to buy Kylian Mbappé’s jersey before this Sunday’s match (5pm) against Valladolid. “It’s the start of a new, great generation for the club,” Miguel emphasizes. “With Vinicius and Bellingham, he’s going to leave his mark on his era, without a doubt,” Ana adds. Cost of the operation: 185 euros each.
In the streets of Madrid, it’s hard to miss the jersey bearing the number 9. Even the street vendors in the corridors of the metro only sell this object. A godsend also for the brand new Real Madrid megastore, opened in June in the heart of the Santiago Bernabeu stadium. The first few days have validated the frenzy.
