00:00I think everyone heard the news. It's official, I'm going to be a Real Madrid player for the next five seasons at least.
00:09It's a huge pleasure, a dream that comes true, a lot of emotions. I'm very, very happy, liberated, relieved, extremely proud to be able to join this club where I've always dreamed of being.
00:23A big thank you. I'm sure I'm very excited to join this great club, the best in the world. I arrive there with a lot of humility.
00:32I would like to thank everyone who sent me a lot of messages, everyone who supported me. I couldn't see everything, but my heart was there.
00:41A big thank you to all the people who have contributed to this operation, which was more than complex.
00:48I thank all the people at Real Madrid who have worked, especially the president, Florentino Perez, who has always trusted me from day one.
00:56It's a big day for me. Now there are a lot of emotions, but we have to go back to something more rational.
01:03Today I have a responsibility as captain of the French team. I think it has taken a lot of shade on the national team.
01:11I know that for you it's not fair. I see a lot of faces, people who have come from afar. Sometimes life is unfair, but I will not answer questions other than the national team.
01:21I know it's not good, and I'm sorry, but I prefer to protect my national team because we have a big summer ahead of us.
01:29We haven't won in a while, so we're going to try to put all the weapons on our side to win.
