Kylian Mbappé Officially Receives Real Madrid’s Legendary No.10 Shirt
The baton has been passed. After years of brilliance from Luka Modrić, Real Madrid’s iconic No.10 jersey — a number that symbolizes intelligence, creativity, and leadership — has been handed to none other than Kylian Mbappé.
This isn’t just a change in shirt number. It’s a statement from the club and a recognition of Mbappé’s stature. After a remarkable debut campaign in white, where he scored 34 goals and delivered on the world’s highest stage, Mbappé is now positioned not just as Real Madrid’s star forward — but as the heart and soul of the team.
The No.10 shirt is sacred at the Santiago Bernabéu.
From legends like Modrić to legends past, it has always been reserved for those who embody the spirit of the club — players who lead, create, and define an era. Mbappé stepping into that role signals Real Madrid’s new era is well underway, with him at the center of it all.
But that’s not all…
Who’s getting the No.9 shirt now that Mbappé has switched numbers?
That jersey — worn by strikers and club icons like Cristiano Ronaldo, Karim Benzema, and Alfredo Di Stéfano — is being handed to a rising talent whose promotion has excited the coaching staff and fans alike. While the club hasn’t made a flashy announcement yet, whispers suggest it’s a carefully chosen name — someone seen as ready to take the spotlight and thrive under pressure.
With this symbolic change, Real Madrid is preparing for a generational shift — blending experience, star power, and youth.
The message is loud and clear: the future is now.
