In a sarcastic response that sparked wide controversy, French star Kylian Mbappe, Real Madrid striker, denied circulating news about his anger towards his club’s management and Zinedine Zidane, the coach of the French national team. This came after a period of criticism from the royal club’s fans following his injury with his national team, his return to the Spanish capital, and then leaving the training grounds to take a leave.
The incident began with a report from a Spanish correspondent who claimed that Mbappe felt very angry with Real Madrid’s management for not launching a media campaign to support him in the Ballon d’Or race, especially on the sidelines of the recent Madrid Derby. This report also indicated that Mbappe’s performance in the match reflected his frustration with the club officials, emphasizing his displeasure with Zinedine Zidane, who did not provide sufficient media support to him, fearing to embarrass his teammate Ousmane Dembele, who is competing for the same prestigious award.
Mbappe did not remain silent for long in response to these allegations; rather, he chose the “Instagram” platform to respond to a “Radio Marca” post that covered this news. The French star sarcastically commented: “Yes, well, yes, and I was also angry with Great Aunt,” attaching laughing emojis, a clear indication of mocking these reports talking about Mbappe’s anger at Real Madrid.
This quick response from Mbappe puts an end to the speculations about tension in his relationship with Real Madrid’s management or his national team coach, affirming that he does not pay much attention to such rumors. Mbappe’s comment confirmed his playful nature and his ability to handle media pressure intelligently without engaging in direct confrontations.
