30 million demand sacking! Petition against world star goes wild

Under the slogan “Mbappé out,” some Real fans launched a petition at the start of the week calling for the dismissal of their superstar Kylian Mbappé. What nobody suspected at the time? The signature campaign was about to cause an unbelievable stir.

As of today, Thursday, more than 30 million people have already signed the petition. Even though it is very unlikely that these are only Real fans, the way the campaign has unfolded is almost symbolic of the current situation.

After being knocked out of the cup, the Champions League, and seemingly missing out on the league title, things are reaching a boiling point at Real. According to media reports, several players have fallen out with coach Arbeloa. The fans now appear to be venting their frustration mainly at Kylian Mbappé — even though he is once again having a strong season.

Among other things, despite the quarter-final exit in the Champions League, he still leads the competition’s scoring chart with 15 goals.

However, France’s 'Le Parisien' has questioned the reliability of the petition, citing a hacker and cybersecurity expert.

According to the report, there are irregularities in the code and in the counting of the signatures. This could mean that the figures are being “artificially inflated.”
