The trip came while Mbappé was recovering from a hamstring injury suffered on April 24 against Real Betis, a game in which he went off before Madrid conceded a 90th-minute equalizer.\n\nThe backlash was swift. Spanish media and a segment of Real Madrid supporters questioned whether the French superstar's priorities were aligned with the club's needs, especially with the season-defining match against Barcelona looming on Sunday. Mbappé's representatives pushed back on Tuesday, issuing a statement that described the criticism as an \"over-interpretation\" of his recovery schedule. \"Part of the criticism is based on an over-interpretation of elements related to a recovery period strictly supervised by the club, without reflecting the reality of Kylian’s commitment and the work he puts in every day for the team,\" the statement read.\n\nThis controversy arrives at a trying time for Madrid. Despite Mbappé's remarkable individual campaign—41 goals in 41 matches, making him the club's top scorer—the team has struggled collectively. Real Madrid were eliminated from the Champions League and Copa del Rey, and their La Liga title hopes are all but extinguished. They trail Barcelona by 11 points with just four matches remaining, meaning a defeat or draw on Sunday would hand the title to their eternal rivals.\n\nFrustration among fans has boiled over. An online petition has been circulating on social media, urging Madridistas to call for Mbappé to be sold. The petition claims that the forward is \"saving himself\" for France's World Cup campaign, a notion that has gained traction among skeptics. \"If you believe change is necessary, do not remain silent: sign this petition and defend what you believe is best for the future of the club,\" it reads.\n\nReal Madrid head coach Álvaro Arbeloa attempted to defuse the situation, but his comments were perceived as veiled criticism. \"Each player does what they consider appropriate in their free time,\" Arbeloa said, adding that it was \"none of my business.\" However, the timing of the remarks—coming days after the Sardinia photos surfaced—left little doubt about his intended target. Arbeloa's own position is under scrutiny, as Madrid's season fizzled out early.\n\nAccording to Spanish media reports, Mbappé did make an effort to show dedication. On a day off, he visited Madrid's training center to continue his rehabilitation. Yet, cracks in the relationship between player and club have been visible. The Athletic reported that Mbappé was involved in a dispute with a member of the coaching staff before the Betis match, adding another layer of tension.\n\nAs Sunday approaches, Madrid have yet to confirm whether Mbappé will be fit to face Barcelona. The stakes are clear: if Barcelona avoid defeat, they clinch the title. Mbappé's presence—or absence—could shape the narrative of the clásico, but his off-field actions have already colored it. The controversy underscores the delicate balance between a star player's personal life and the relentless demands of elite football.\n\nFor now, Mbappé's representatives insist his commitment is unquestionable. But as the petition spreads and criticism mounts, the forward faces a test not just of his fitness, but of his ability to win back the faith of a fanbase that expects total devotion. The clásico will reveal whether the noise around Sardinia is a fleeting distraction or a sign of deeper discord.\n\nBased on reporting from Football | The Guardian.","news","Kylian Mbappé faces backlash after traveling to Sardinia with girlfriend Ester Expósito while recovering from a hamstring injury.
