Cristiano Ronaldo has broken yet another record with his social media reaction to Kylian Mbappe’s long-anticipated move to Real Madrid. This time, Ronaldo set the record for the most liked social media comment, responding to Mbappe’s announcement with 13 simple words.
The transfer saga between Mbappe and Real Madrid concluded on Monday when it was announced that the French superstar would join the Spanish champions on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain. This move positions Real Madrid as a formidable force in European football, with Mbappe expected to play alongside Rodrygo and Ballon d’Or frontrunner Vinicius Junior.

Mbappe, at 25, will reportedly take a pay cut from his PSG salary, earning just under £250,000 per week at Santiago Bernabeu. He follows in Ronaldo’s footsteps as the main attraction at Real Madrid, although he’s unlikely to don the iconic number seven jersey.
Upon the announcement, Mbappe shared his excitement on Instagram, posting a series of photos and expressing his pride in joining Real Madrid. Among the images was a picture of a young Mbappe with his idol, Ronaldo, who then commented: “My turn to watch. Excited to see you light up the Bernabeu. #HalaMadrid.” Ronaldo’s comment has now garnered over 4.2 million likes, surpassing the previous record for the most liked comment on social media.
