During Real Madrid’s victory against Celta Vigo (5-2 after extra time) in the Copa del Rey, Kylian Mbappé attracted attention not only with his goal, but also with his symbolic gesture.
On Instagram, the French striker posted a photo of his celebration, captioning: “We don’t play with the coat of arms”. A sentence that got people talking, just like his gesture of pulling on the Real crest before staring at the audience with authority.
A response to criticism?
For many observers, this gesture was aimed at the supporters present at the Santiago Bernabeu, who had whistled Aurélien Tchouaméni after his poor performance during the defeat against FC Barcelona (2-5) in the Spanish Super Cup. Asked about this, Carlo Ancelotti preferred to minimize. ” I don’t know. What I saw was a player at his best level,” confided the Italian coach, highlighting the rediscovered performances of Mbappé, essential for the next Madrid challenges, according to Mark.
