Disgruntled PSG Supporters Flood Mbappé's Social Media with Criticisms and Dismissals
Unleashed Fury on Social Media: Kylian Mbappé Roasted Over PSG's Champions League Success
Madrid, 8 May (EFE).- Kylian Mbappé, the French forward currently playing for Real Madrid, has found himself in the crosshairs of criticism following Paris Saint-Germain's (PSG) qualification for the Champions League final. They will battle Inter Milan on May 31 at the Allianz Arena in Munich.
The hashtag "#ThanksForLeavingPSG" has been trending, with comments like "PSG in the final, must hurt you," "You left PSG to win the 'Champions', but Paris is in the final without you," and "Glad you're gone. We're much stronger without you." These are but a few examples of the thousands of messages Mbappé has received in recent hours.
This backlash can be attributed to PSG's notable success without Mbappé, who departed for Real Madrid. Fans are expressing their resentment, feeling that the club achieved this feat without their star player[1].
A biting comment from Luis Enrique, the Spanish coach, has only fueled the fire. In a recent documentary, he compared the defensive situation he had at PSG with Mbappé's presence to what he would have with his move to Real Madrid.
The most shared image to Mbappé depicts the Eiffel Tower with fireworks and the message "Ici c'est Paris" (This is Paris). Another image shows Ousmane Dembélé holding the PSG shield on his jersey, and one more features Luis Enrique celebrating a goal in front of the bench[6].
Despite the derision, Mbappé has remained tight-lipped, focusing on the upcoming Spanish football classic against Barcelona at Montjuic[3].
