Despite his rather successful debut with Real Madrid, Kylian Mbappé is not spared from criticism. The French striker no longer has the same popularity rating. A situation that the former Paris Saint-Germain player himself caused.
Seven goals in nine matches in all competitions. For most players, such statistics after signing for Real Madrid would have merited flattering comments. But Kylian Mbappé is more entitled to criticism of his ineffectiveness and the content of his matches. You only need to take a look at social networks to see that the French are not spared. Obviously, Merengue is no longer as popular as when it first started in Monaco.
Some will say that his free departure and his conflict with Paris Saint-Germain tarnish his image. But for his part, investigative journalist Martin Leprince points out the communication of the international tricolor. “ In 2018, after the World Cup victory, Kylian Mbappé had a perfect imageremembered our colleague for RFI. Young, talented, intelligent during interviews… But since then, the darling of the nation has created a distance with football fans and part of the general public, his communication is more stereotypical. »
Mbappé attentive to criticism
During the last international break, Kylian Mbappé actually surprised by affirming that outside opinions were “ the least of (his) worries ». « He and those close to him are very careful about what is said about himcorrected Martin Leprince, author of the investigative book “Kylian Mbappé – Born to win” (Mareuil Editions). Social networks are very important to him. After his missed penalty at the Euro against Switzerland in 2021 and the elimination of France in the round of 16, Mbappé received a torrent of criticism. Some say that he asked himself the question of no longer playing for the French team after that. » In reality, the Bondynois had been the victim of racism and demanded more support from the FFF.
