Over the months and Real Madrid’s disappointing results, some of the media and supporters began to accuse Kylian Mbappé of being one of those directly responsible for the Merengue fiasco. Despite being the team’s top scorer, the Bondynois ended up crystallizing some of the criticism. The club management, which continues to support him, is called upon to discuss with him to take stock and make a decision.
It was AS who presented his own point of view this Friday. The media returned to the particularly eventful evening of Thursday, during and after the championship match won by Real Madrid against Oviedo (2-0). Entering the game during the meeting, Kylian Mbappé was booed by part of his audience. Then, once the game was over, the player made a statement targeting both his coach and certain teammates.
For the specialized media, President Florentino Perez must urgently meet Kylian Mbappé before the latter flies off with the French team to compete in the 2026 World Cup. The divisions within the locker room between the pro-Xabi Alonso and the pro-Alvaro Arbeloa must be resolved as quickly as possible. Madrid leaders “were worried about the gestures and situations involving Mbappé” and they were
“the first to understand that he has moved away from the group and that his teammates do not understand his behavior”.
Kylian Mbappé and Florentino Perez must discuss, according to the Spanish press
His communication did not help him, like when he posted a message “Come on Madrid” during the last Clasico, when his team was trailing 2-0. His outing on Thursday evening added fuel to the fire. According to AS, Florentino Perez still considers Kylian Mbappé to be “the best” part of the team. However, and as the history of Real Madrid has always proven, the club remains above everything.
The cases of Sergio Ramos and Cristiano Ronaldo, pushed out despite their importance at Real and their monstrous records, are irrefutable proof of this. And according to the media, Florentino Perez will be able to take a strong position again in the case of Kylian Mbappé. However, and this point must be emphasized, such a scenario remains extremely unlikely. Real Madrid’s main objective is to
“restore order and control”. A mission which should be devolved to a certain José Mourinho, probable next Madrid coach.
