The image of an authoritarian leader has been attached to Kylian Mbappé for quite some time now. On social media, the "Commander Mbappé" meme has been used excessively for weeks.
It plays up the claim that Mbappé is the sole spokesman, president, coach, captain, and media officer all in one at both Real Madrid and the French national team. He supposedly tolerates no other opinions on or off the pitch and always gets his way. No matter the cost.
Even if there is nothing to this theory, the superstar keeps providing fresh material. That was the case again yesterday during the more than two-hour match interruption in France vs. Iraq. He even took charge of the pitch maintenance.
Then again, maybe the groundskeepers were grateful for the input from an experienced player. After all, he has famously already covered quite a few yards on the pitches of world football.
