On Tuesday Kylian Mbappe was officially unveiled as the new Real Madrid player in front of an 80.000-strong Santiago Bernabeu crowd.
At just 25 the French superstar already boasts 18 trophies including a World Cup to his name. He also netted 336 career goals for club and country. Quite surprisingly none of those have come from a direct free-kick.
What curious the previous owner of the no.9 shirt Karim Benzema wasn exactly known for his set-piece prowess either managing to score just one free-kick goal in his 14-year stint with the club.
But well if Kylian delivers as much in the number nine jersey as Karim did we gladly overlook his free-kick stats.
