• Kylian Mbappe sealed his long-awaited transfer move to Real Madrid after the Spanish giants confirmed it on Monday
• He shared some throwback pictures of himself in the club's kit on social media, captioning it as a dream come true
• One of those pictures was with Cristiano Ronaldo and the five-time Ballon d'Or winner's comment has set a new record

Cristiano Ronaldo broke another record after Kylian Mbappe’s 'dream' transfer to Real Madrid was made official, having shared his thoughts on social media.

The transfer saga between Mbappe, Los Blancos, and Paris Saint-Germain was drawn to a close after officially starting in the summer transfer window of 2021.

Real Madrid tested the waters by offering PSG €160 million on the transfer deadline day, but it was turned down with claims that they were unwilling to sell their star.

Ronaldo makes Instagram record after Mbappe's move

Mbappe was elated after completing his move to Real Madrid and took to his Instagram page to share four photos of his younger self in the club's white colours.

One of those pictures was with Ronaldo when Zinedine Zidane invited the 14-year-old to Madrid’s complex at Valdebebas in 2012. This prompted a comment from the Al-Nassr star.

"My turn to watch, excited to see you light up the Bernabeu," Ronaldo wrote.

As spotted by Centre Goals, the comment has amassed over 4 million likes, setting a new record for the most-liked Instagram comment, a record previously held by a comment on Reed Harrington’s post.
