Real Madrid took a step that many considered to be a provocation for Barcelona during Kylian Mbappé’s presentation ceremony at the Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.
The club broadcast a highlight reel of Mbappé’s career on the stadium screen, including four goals he scored against Barcelona while playing for Paris Saint-Germain.
The highlight reel included the unforgettable moment when Mbappé dribbled past Gerard Piqué and the Barcelona legend tried to stop him by pulling his shirt, but failed. It was as if it was a message to Barcelona that the future will not be much different from the Frenchman’s past against the Catalan club.
Mbappé played 4 matches against Barcelona with Paris Saint-Germain, winning 2, drawing 1 and losing 1 in the first leg of the Champions League quarter-finals last season.
The 25-year-old has a perfect record against Barça, having scored 6 goals in those 4 matches, including a hat-trick at the Camp Nou and two goals in the last meeting in the second leg of the quarter-finals last season at the Lluís Companys Olympic Stadium.
