“Yes, I also got angry with my great-aunt.” Mbappé responded jokingly to a report claiming he had been angry with Real Madrid. The exchange comes as his conduct during the international break has drawn criticism from Madrid supporters.
Javier Tintó said on Radio Marca that Mbappé had asked Real Madrid to run a campaign in favour of his Ballon d’Or during derby week, and that the club had not followed through. Tintó also claimed that the player had approached Zidane, who could not agree to the request because Dembélé was also involved in the matter. These were Tintó’s claims; Mbappé’s response does not establish them as fact.
The Frenchman has not answered the criticism of his conduct during this period. The criticism followed his injury while with France against Turkey, after which he returned to Madrid before leaving to take a few days’ rest, angering Madrid supporters.
His reply to the report carried by Radio Marca came as a quip: “Yes, well, yes, I also got angry with my great-aunt,” he wrote, adding laughing-face emojis. It was a response to the reported remarks, rather than an answer to the criticism of his conduct during the break.
