Cristiano Ronaldo also changed his shirt number early into his Madrid career. Like Mbappe, the Portugal international wore the No 9 after joining the club from Manchester United in the summer of 2009. He inherited Raul’s No 7 shirt from the 2010/11 season onwards.

Kylian Mbappé will wear the No. 10 jersey at Real Madrid next season, switching from the No. 9 he wore last year, a source confirmed to ESPN.
