Real Madrid Real Madrid officially present Marco Asensio as a first team player

Florentino Perez presented Marco Asensio as a Real Madrid player on Tuesday lunchtime, and it was clear for all to see that the 20-year-old was immensely proud to be part of the club's plans.

Los Blancos play Stade de Reims in the Santiago Bernabeu Trophy later on Tuesday evening and the attacking midfielder's presentation formed part of the day's celebrations.

"It is an emotional day for me," the player said.

"I have dreamt about this day since I was little.

"I will give everything I have for the shirt."

Speaking through tears, he then thanked his family for their support, including his Dutch mother, who passed away when he was 15-years-old.

"I would like to thank my family and my mother, who has supported me from above," he told those in attendance.

The club's president also spoke at the player's presentation and was very complimentary about the player who returns to the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu after an impressive season on loan with Espanyol in 2015/16.

"It is a great day because we welcome a marvellous player of undisputable quality, who has been dreaming about wearing this shirt," Perez said.

"Welcome to the club, Marco Asensio.

"I know that this has been your dream for some time and I know that you identify with the club badge.

"12 years ago your parents met me in Mallorca and they said, 'President, this is our son Marco and one day he will play for Real Madrid.'"

"Real Madrid has chosen you to form part of its history and you have also chosen Real Madrid."

Asensio has already written a little piece of Real Madrid history by the scoring the spectacular opening goal in last week's UEFA Super Cup win.
