Dean Huijsen reveals the gesture Mbappé had with him before the Spain-France match

Madridists had an eye on the semifinals of the Nations League, especially the Spain – France match. Thursday's game meant seeing the season's brand-new Golden Boot winner again. Mbappé was leading the French side in their quest for a spot in the final.

But that wasn't the only point of interest for Real Madrid fans in this national team match. That's because Huijsen, Real Madrid's summer signing, started for La Roja. It was a good opportunity to see him face off against a rival like Mbappé again.

That wasn't all, since Huijsen himself surprised everyone with Kylian's gesture. After the match, in the mixed zone, he was asked if he had spoken with him at any point. Dean admitted that "we talked a little, he told me welcome and that we'll see each other rarely."

It's not bad when one of Real Madrid's biggest stars like Mbappé is the one to welcome you. He also acknowledged that he had been kind to him during that brief conversation. It's a great joy that there's such good harmony among Madridists before returning to training.

Called to lead Real Madrid for many years

Mbappé arrived last summer at Real Madrid to be the team's biggest star. He has shown it this season by being the top scorer, Golden Boot of the European leagues. At 26 years old he talks about the future he still has ahead of him at Bernabéu.

But Huijsen is only 20 years old, and he already has more than enough experience at the elite level. With the Spanish national team and with Bournemouth, where he has performed at a high level in the Premier League. It's a good proof that he's ready for this new challenge.

It's true that right now Militao and Rüdiger guarantee two center-backs of great stature at Real Madrid. Looking to the future, Huijsen is called to be the leader of the back line. Therefore, that good harmony with Kylian is very exciting for all Madridists.
