Real Madrid flop produced 'worst-ever unveiling' in the club's history and it forever cursed his career in Spain

In Spain, official presentations can often set the tone for a player's career at their club and one star's unveiling went horribly wrong.

Real Madrid have just unveiled £50 million signing Dean Huijsen, though Los Blancos opted for a much more low-key approach and there was no appearance on the pitch at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Like Huijsen, Trent Alexander-Arnold will be presented at the club's Ciudad Real Madrid training complex after signing his contract and speaking to the media in a press conference.

And so unlike the gigantic gatherings for the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Kaka, Kylian Mbappe, Eden Hazard and Endrick, there will not be too much pressure on the shoulders of the England international.

Typically, the tradition for big marquee signings for Real and Barcelona is for them to perform tricks and kick-ups but Theo Hernandez's skill show did not go to plan.

The left-back, brother of Paris Saint-Germain defender Lucas, became the first player in 17 years to move from Atletico to Real after sealing a £20 million switch.

He signed a six-year deal and said he was "very happy to be at the best club in the world" but he struggled to perform keepy uppies - managing six but only just as the ball flew all over the place.

The less than impressive kick ups were caught on camera and Hernandez proceeded to hoof the ball in the air before fluffing his touch, catching the ball awkwardly and patting the Real badge afterwards.

The 27-year-old didn't get off to the best start with an unconvincing display and never really got going with Real. After a loan spell with Alavez which prompted the 15-time European champions to sign him, he only played 13 times in La Liga - though he did still get his hands on a Champions League medal after featuring three times in the competition.

Hernandez spent the 2018/19 campaign on loan at Real Sociedad and was then snapped up by AC Milan, where he found his feet and has gone on to play 262 times and winning Serie A.

Capped 38 times for France, Hernandez was been heavily linked with a move to Al Hilal but according to Fabrizio Romano, has rejected the Saudi Pro League and is now in negotiations with a return to Spain with Atleti.
