Modrić has left the Bernabéu, but the number 10 jersey is still warm. Real Madrid's management has decided that Mbappé will wear the number 10 jersey and carry the soul of the White Army.
The number 10 is Real Madrid's sacred jersey, symbolizing creation, organization, and leadership. Seedorf, Figo, Robinho, Sneijder, and Özil have all worn it in the past. More recently, Modrić, with his exceptional vision, pinpoint passes, and decisive strikes, has brought the number 10 to its zenith. However, wearing this jersey also comes with pressure; every action is scrutinized.
Mbappé once wore number 7 in Paris, as swift as the wind; as the French national team's number 10, he commanded the entire game. Now at the Bernabéu, he initially wanted number 9, but ultimately got number 10, transforming from a striker to a central figure, becoming Real Madrid's new core.

👀 Personal opinion:
This is Real Madrid's "spiritual coronation" for Mbappé—you are not just a superstar, but the future soul of the team. The number 10 symbolizes both attacking and spiritual cores, and Mbappé must transform from a finisher to a commander-in-chief. Real Madrid's number 10 has always been an extraordinary individual; whether he can shoulder this responsibility remains to be seen.
