Real Madrid defends Kylian Mbappé against rape accusations in Sweden. The club shows its confidence in the innocence of its star and denounces an attempt at media manipulation.

Accused by a complaint of rape and sexual assault in Sweden, for events that occurred on October 10 in Stockholm, Kylian Mbappé is going through a media storm. Real Madrid quickly took a position, assuring RMC Sport that it gives no credence to these accusations.

The Madrid club expressed its total confidence in the French striker, denouncing manipulation aimed at tarnishing his reputation. Casa Blanca considers this affair to be fake news, like the comments already made by Kylian Mbappé himself on social networks.

The affair agitates the press, but Real remains calm

The Swedish authorities confirmed the opening of an investigation into rape, without explicitly mentioning the former Parisian. However, the daily Expressen suggests that the captain of the Blues is involved and would be considered “reasonably suspicious”the lowest level of suspicion.

At the same time, the absence of Kylian Mbappé from a recent Real marketing campaign, linked to a dispute with Nike rather than this affair, fueled speculation. The club remains aligned with the line of communication from its lawyers and continues to ensure that the Merengue number 9 is free to move when not in competition.
