Kylian Controversy: “Mbappé Out” petition gathers 12 million signatures

Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé could be facing growing pressure at the Spanish club if an online campaign against him is anything to go by.

The former Paris Saint-Germain star has enjoyed another impressive season statistically, registering 41 goals and six assists in 41 appearances across all competitions. However, reports of disagreements with teammates and members of the technical team have overshadowed his performances.

Mbappé has reportedly clashed with teammates including Jude Bellingham and Vinícius Júnior, while critics have also questioned his defensive work rate and body language on the pitch.

According to the BBC, an online petition titled “Mbappé Out” initially aimed to gather 200,000 signatures, but reportedly attracted more than 12 million signatures within 24 hours, highlighting growing frustration among sections of supporters.

At the time of writing, Mbappe is nursing a knee injury that has ruled him out of the season but won’t affect his availability for this year’s World Cup.

He was recently captured vacationing in Italy with his girlfriend, causing further angst from fans against Kylian Mbappe.
