Anti-Mbappé campaign grows: over 2m want him out of Real Madrid | OneFootball

The atmosphere around Real Madrid has added a new flashpoint of conflict, with Kylian Mbappé at the center. In recent hours, a group of fans launched a digital campaign under the slogan “Mbappé Out,” which quickly gained traction and sparked debate over his future at the club.

The striking initiative invites Madridistas (although any fan in the world can access the page) to make their voices heard through an online petition: “Madridistas, make your voice heard. If you believe change is necessary, don’t stay silent, sign this petition and show that what you think is best for the future of the club.”

Discontent in Madrid intensified after the striker’s absence from the match against Espanyol in Cornellà. The forward had been dealing with muscle discomfort that had already prevented him from finishing the game against Betis, which ended up seriously hurting Álvaro Arbeloa’s team’s La Liga hopes.

The controversy escalated when the Frenchman decided to travel to Italy in the middle of his recovery and during his free time. Although the trip was authorized by the coaching staff, the decision did not sit well with a section of the public, who questioned his commitment at a sensitive point in the season, nor with the squad. “In their free time, every player does what they consider appropriate, and I don’t interfere in that. All planning related to injured players is supervised and managed by Real Madrid’s medical staff, who decide when they should go to Valdebebas and when they should not,” Arbeloa made clear.

The impact of the campaign was immediate and massive. In a matter of hours, the petition surpassed two million signatures and continues to grow rapidly on social media.

In his second season at the White House, Mbappé’s personal numbers are more than positive (41 goals, the top scorer of the season in Spain and chasing the Golden Boot), but the team’s overall performance has not matched. Behind closed doors, the criticism points to his attitude off the pitch. For many supporters, the attacker’s level of commitment is not up to what an institution like the merengue club demands.
