Lucas Silva has admitted he “felt emotional” during his Real Madrid unveiling.
The 21 year-old, who has been signed by Los Blancos from Cruzeiro for a reported fee of €14 million, concedes the occasion got a bit too much for him, as he entered on to the pitch at Santiago Bernabéu Stadium.
“I felt butterflies in my stomach as I stepped on the field,” he said, as reported by Sky Sports. I stood in front of all the titles, the cups won, and felt emotional.”
Lucas Silva could make his debut when Real Madrid face Real Sociedad on Saturday.
