The Dutch-born defender was left speechless when he saw the club’s historic 15 European Cups.

When asked why he chose Real Madrid, Huijsen was clear and direct, stating “Every step I’ve taken in my career has been to get here. It’s the best club in the world. I want to grow here and win a lot of titles.”

Describing himself as a player, the defender added: “I would say I’m a complete centre-back. But of course, I can still improve in all areas, and I’m going to give my best for the team.”

Huijsen also recalled his first memory of the club. “It was watching Sergio Ramos’ goal in the Champions League final against Atletico. That goal will stay with me forever.”

Looking ahead to the new season, Huijsen spoke about the Club World Cup: “Winning the Club World Cup would be something huge. It should be expected from Real Madrid.”

Finally, the 20-year-old sent a message to the fans, adding, “Hello Madridistas, I’m here! I’m really excited to get going and I hope to see you all soon at the Bernabéu. Hala Madrid!”
