Mbappé inherits the No. 10 and a new era begins at the Bernabéu
One of the standout stories this season is Kylian Mbappé, who has been confirmed as the club’s new No. 10. The French star takes over the iconic shirt from club legend Luka Modrić, who wore it for a decade. This change signals Mbappé’s growing status as the new attacking leader of the team.

With a blend of established stars and rising talent, Real Madrid heads into a pivotal season that promises high drama from day one.
