Kylian Mbappé has created controversy. After the heavy defeat of Real Madrid against Atlético (2-5), the French striker adopted an attitude that does not pass to Madrid supporters. His reaction at the end of this historic derby already arouses strong criticism on social networks and questions his mind after this collective rout.
Direct flight to the locker room
Mbappé has gone straight for the tunnel without a look for anyone. Obviously furious at the performance of his team, the world champion did not bother to shake hands with his opponents or to greet the Madrid supporters present in the stadium. An attitude that contrasts with that of a few teammates like Dean Huijsen, Raul Asencio and Gonzalo García, who remained applauding their fans despite the defeat.
This reaction, however, comes after a goal scored by the French in the 25th minute, which had equalized the scoring after the opening of Robin the Normand. But the collective collapse in the second period, with three goals conceded unanswered, obviously had the former Parisian disjurred who did not support this humiliation in the Madrid derby.
The old demons are resurfaced
This attitude revives questions about Mbappé's mind in difficult times. Already criticized for his whispers in Real Madrid, the French striker seemed to have found serenity and efficiency in recent weeks. His eight league goals testified to a successful adaptation, but this post-match behavior brings up doubts about his ability to manage pressure.
Madrid supporters, who had finally adopted it after complicated beginnings, are likely to be disappointed by this forward flight. In a club where respect for Prime values and traditions, leaving without greeting your fans after a defeat can be perceived as a lack of class. Mbappé will quickly rectify the shot if he wants to keep the confidence of his audience.
