Legends from the past have received same treatment.

The forward’s Real Madrid contract quickly became the worst-kept secret in football public awareness.
On Tuesday, July 16, Mbappe will make his official Los Blancos debut.
Furthermore, a video obtained by the Spanish newspaper AS shows the Bernabeu transforming before the big event.
Although there is only grass on one side of the ground, supporters are expected to pack the 80,000-seat stadium to watch Mbappe play.It has been dubbed a “never-seen-before” presentation and is likely to rival prior legendary ones.
Cristiano Ronaldo, David Beckham, and Luis Figo all received similar responses when joining Real Madrid.
Mbappe, who already has favourite numbers 7 and 10, is scheduled to debut his new No. 9 shirt.
Ronaldo wore the No. 9 shirt in his debut season in Madrid, while Raul continued to wear the No. 7.
However, a year later, the Portuguese national sign accepted it and became identified with it.
Mbappe is returning to Spain after a disastrous Euro 2024 season in which he scored only one goal—a penalty kick—and witnessed France lose to eventual winners Spain in the quarterfinals.Just one game into the competition in Germany, the 25-year-old suffered a severe nose injury that forced him to wear a mask for the majority of the time.
As Mbappe prepares for the upcoming season, Madrid staff members are allegedly apprehensive about his level of rehabilitation.
