Everyone talks about it… or almost. For a few days now, the case of Kylian Mbappé (25 years old) has caused a lot of ink to flow. First of all, there was his controversial absence during the French team’s last training camp. While Didier Deschamps announced his withdrawal for the Blues rally and the matches against Israel and Belgium in the Nations League, the French captain played two days later with Real Madrid. Which embarrassed the French staff. DD had tried to put out the fire as best he could. The French technician also had to mention the KM9 case after the player’s trip to Sweden, while the national team faced Israel in Budapest.
Monday evening, Deschamps had to answer questions from journalists regarding the serious accusations made against the star of the France team in Sweden. “ Right now, it’s coming out everywhere, no matter how. Info, misinformation, I don’t know, it’s difficult. It is large enough to communicate. We have an environment that is very negative. You have to be careful when you take things back. I’m not going to say I know because I don’t know. It’s better to take a step back before releasing anything. However, there are things that are not difficult to verify. But if you give credit to anyone. I’m taking a step back, but it’s not a good thing for the France team. » DD must be happy that the international break is over, since he will no longer have to answer questions about Mbappé for a few days.
Real Madrid gets the hot potato
Because since Monday evening, the media machine has been more excited than ever. The Swedish press is multiplying articles on the Real Madrid player, who would be involved in a case of alleged sexual assault and who would be “reasonably suspect”. Yesterday, Mbappé’s lawyer, Maître Marie-Alix Canu Bernard, defended her client on the set of 8 p.m. TF1. “ We are told of a complaint, of a complaint being filed, but at this time, we do not know against whom. A complaint does not make the truth, a complaint does not prove anything. And I don’t know again if the complaint targets him. He is never alone. He is never exposed to finding himself in a situation where there would be risk taking for him. So, as a result, this completely excludes the fact that there could have been any wrongdoing on his part. I can tell you, it’s an absolute certainty. »
She also took the opportunity to provide news of the player, who had not been the subject of any complaints yesterday, according to her representative. “ He is particularly serene, but on the other hand he is totally stunned to see this media hype. He does not understand at all what can be blamed on him in any way. An investigation targeting him? If that was the case, obvious. He was absolutely serene today. He left for training. He has nothing to reproach himself for.» In the middle of a storm, the former Paris Saint-Germain player therefore remains focused and works to get back on the pitch as quickly as possible. The Team also explains that he is visibly recovered from his thigh injury and that he should even start this weekend’s La Liga match against Celta de Vigo.
Mbappé is calm, Real Madrid too
On the side of Real Madrid, RMC Sport explained yesterday that we are rather calm. “ This matter is not a subject for Real. The Madrid club shows no concern. The members of the Merengue club have no doubt that it is a fake », Explained a source from the club to our colleagues. This Wednesday morning, The Team goes in the same direction. The sports daily explains that the Merengues remain very cautious, who believe that these are “simple allegations” from the Swedish press, and that they think ” that there is nothing at the moment. » The residents of the Santiago Bernabéu stadium, who believe the version given by their player, did not hold a crisis meeting, contrary to what was broadcast by a French journalist on X.
The Spanish champions, who are quite surprised by the media treatment inflicted on Mbappé, therefore intend to wait for the outcome of the affair without commenting publicly, as they always do in these cases. For his part, the summer recruit from Real Madrid has visibly explained himself with his club, according to El Chiringuito. The famous Spanish show, whose star presenter Josep Pedrerol is close to Florentino Pérez, indicated last night that Mbappé conveyed tranquility to Real Madrid. The player expressed his serenity. The Iberian media adds: “ Kylian’s entourage has the feeling that PSG wants to damage his image. » Visibly reassured by its star, Real Madrid will try to calmly approach the resumption, even if Carlo Ancelotti risks having a few questions about his player at a press conference.
