And the observer concludes with a serious charge.
“If you put your own situation in front of what your club is going through, I’m sorry, there is a problem. (…) What Real supporters sanction is an attitude and a frustration. An attitude with casualness on the field, when they see guys running like crazy and there is one guy, just one, who thinks that the others are at his service…” Real Madrid’s top scorer again this season, Kylian Mbappé has apparently not convinced everyone and his attitude continues to cause tension and debate.
