Kylian Mbappé victim of serious injustice?

Kylian Mbappé made his dream come true this summer by joining Real Madrid. But the dream quickly took on the appearance of a nightmare. The fault lies in what was, to say the least, a complicated start for the Merengue. Whether on the field, where he was for a long time confined to a center-forward position, or off it, where his escapade in Stockholm during a France team gathering earned him severe criticism.

Among the most popular French personalities at the end of the 2022 World Cup, Kylian Mbappé has seen his popularity plummet since the start of the year. Also a consequence of his stormy divorce with PSG or a generally failed Euro, between a broken nose and an elimination in the semi-final against Spain.

Kylian Mbappé victim of his fame

But for Lilian Thuram, Kylian Mbappé is only a victim of his fame. “Kylian Mbappé is a very, very great player, he’s a star. And since we live in a world where you have to talk about stars to sell shows, to sell newspapers, that's part of the game.”he confided to the microphone of Amandine Bigot, on RTl.

However, this situation is profoundly unfair.
“I don't think we should accept it but it's part of the game. He just has to take care of himself and I find that a bit sad because we too often forget that football players are men above all and that we must be careful about certain criticisms, which are unfair”he explained.
