Cristiano Ronaldo has set the record for the most liked social media comment ever after congratulating Kylian Mbappe on his move to Real Madrid.
Mbappe has joined Real on a free transfer, signing a five-year deal. The forward is set to receive €15million net (£12.8m) a season at Real Madrid, which will be down from the €25million net (£21.4m) he earned each year at PSG.
After completing his move, Mbappe posted a series of throwback pictures on Instagram of himself wearing Real Madrid clothing accompanied by the caption: ‘A dream come true, So happy and proud to join the club of my dream @realmadrid Nobody can understand how excited I am right now. Can’t wait to see you, Madridistas, and thanks for your unbelievable support. ¡Hala Madrid’.
In one of the pictures a young Mbappe is seen pointing to his eyes while posing for a picture with Ronaldo, who was playing for Real at the time.
Ronaldo commented on Mbappe’s post, writing: ‘My turn to watch. Excited to see you light up the Bernabeu. #HalaMadrid’.
The comment from Ronaldo has now, incredibly, surpassed 4.2million likes, setting a new record.
Ronaldo enjoyed a hugely successful spell at Real as he scored 450 goals in 438 games and won an array of trophies, including four Champions Leagues.
There will be much expectation on Mbappe to perform but the 25-year-old has frequently proven his quality throughout his career.
During his time at PSG, Mbappe scored 256 goals in 308 games and won six league titles.
He joins a Real Madrid side that were crowned Champions League winners again after overcoming Borussia Dortmund in the final.
