Having come down sharply for his recent trip to Stockholm, while the France team faced Israel in the Nations League, Kylian Mbappé received the support of a famous journalist, who gave a rant on Instagram.
Revealed to the general public when he was still playing for AS Monaco,Kylian Mbappé quickly aroused very high hopes thanks to his extremely precocious football talent. And the least we can say is that the striker from Bondy lived up to expectations. Champion of France with ASM, he was then transferred to PSG for a whopping 180 million euros, making him one of the most expensive players in the history of football. During the seven seasons that he then spent with the capital club, Kylian Mbappé will score goals and win all the trophieswith the notable exception of the Champions League. At the same time, the French striker will play two finals of World Cup. He won the first in 2018 against Croatia, before unfortunately losing in the second against Argentina, despite a hat-trick scored during the match. Wishing to realize one of his childhood dreams, Kylian Mbappé made the decision not to extend his contract with the Paris Saint-Germain last season.
He thus signed up with his favorite club during the summer: Real Madrid. However, since his departure to Spain, the player has been regularly criticized. While his popularity with the public is clearly at half mast, a new controversy has further tarnished his image. Not appearing in the France team squad for the next Nations League matches due to an injury, Kylian Mbappé was seen in Stockholm as his teammates faced Israel. It was enough for Internet users to lash out against him. “Kylian Mbappé forfeited to play with the France team but was present in a nightclub in Sweden at the same time. Better and better”,“Rarely have I seen a guy who wanted the armband not care so much about the team. He wanted the armband to satisfy his ego, period.”wrote some of them on social networks. The footballer was nevertheless able to count on the support of a famous journalist, in the person of Thomas Sotto.

Indeed, the man who has been in charge of RTL’s morning show since the start of the school year defended the French International by making a rant on Friday October 11, 2024 on Instagram. “The guy gave us a World Cup. Very beautiful emotions. He lives under constant pressure. What if we let him go alone?!?“, he wrote. He himself has been the target of attacks and knows how difficult it can be. As a reminder, his behavior behind the scenes of the show Telematin had been implicated in an investigation carried out by Telerama shortly before his departure from France 2 for RTL.
