Kylian Mbappé will wear the iconic No.10 shirt at Real Madrid
A number made legendary by Luka Modrić, who officially departed the club this summer after more than a decade of service. The shirt handover marks a symbolic shift at the Santiago Bernabéu as Mbappé begins his new chapter with Los Blancos.
Modrić’s departure leaves behind a legacy of leadership, five Champions League titles, and a Ballon d’Or — making the No.10 jersey one of the most respected in Madrid’s history.
For Mbappé, taking over the No.10 is not just about a number; it signals his role as the new face of Real Madrid’s attack. Already one of the world’s top forwards, the French superstar is expected to be central in Madrid’s tactical setup, following years of speculation surrounding his move from Paris Saint-Germain. The pressure is high, but so is the excitement.
