Right now we can see that Kylian Mbappe is going to wear an iconic jersey because it is true that this player is going to follow in the footsteps of Mesut Ozil Luka Modric and Puskas, indeed it must be accepted that these players also wore the iconic jersey for the Spanish team. Currently Luka Modric has moved from this club to another club, so it is very natural that the Frenchman will occupy the number 10 jersey of Real Madrid Football Club at the present time. So we can say that his level of pressure and responsibility will probably increase several times from here because at this stage, he could become a great player for Real Madrid, and it is safe to say that he could take everything on this opportunity.
Kylian Mbappe to Wear Iconic Shirt Number for Real Madrid in 2025-26Mbappe is no small name when it comes to the football world and I believe he has been handling pressure for some time now and him wearing this iconic number will instead boost his confidence the more since he knows fully well the caliber of players that have actually wore and befitted that number of the jersey. His first season alone at Real Madrid shows that he is a player that open to grow and improve in everyway possible.
He's a player who truly deserves the number 10 shirt. He's already above average in terms of individual ability, and in his first season with Real Madrid, he proved himself to be the best by winning two awards at once: the top scorer in La Liga and Europe.
And another surprising piece of news: Barcelona has also given the number 10 shirt to Lamine Yamal. Does he really deserve it?
I have seen Rashford wanted to come to Barcelona before. However, Barcelona was not interested in buy Rashford. But this season Barcelona took Rashford on loan. They did not have to spend a big amount of money to added Rashford to the squad.
Barcelona appears unwilling to take any further risks, fearing Marcus Rashford won't be able to return to his best form in La Liga, so they opted to loan him out rather than make the move permanent. According to some reports, the deal includes an option to buy at the end of the season, which will likely only happen once Marcus Rashford has returned to his best form.
