The French forward, who missed the recent Clasico defeat to Barcelona, was jeered during the narrow victory over Alavés last week, and the mood has soured further amid a string of perceived missteps off the pitch.\n\nThe criticism stems from a series of incidents that have painted Mbappé as aloof and self-centered. While nursing an injury, he was spotted on vacation in Sardinia, triggering outrage among fans who expected him to focus on recovery. He also arrived just twelve minutes before kick-off for the away match at Espanyol, a gesture interpreted as a lack of professionalism. Adding fuel to the fire, cameras caught him smiling after a training-ground altercation between teammates Federico Valverde and Aurélien Tchouaméni, and he posted a \"Hala Madrid\" message on social media while his team was losing to Barcelona.\n\nThese episodes have coalesced into a narrative of individualism that the Madrid press and fanbase find unacceptable. Pablo Polo, a journalist for Marca who has closely followed Mbappé since 2017, explains, \"He is accused of only thinking about himself, not being involved enough for the collective, and not caring about the team's fate. He has projected an overly individualistic image lately.\"\n\nYet the scrutiny may say as much about Real Madrid's culture as about Mbappé himself. José Luis Sanchez, a veteran Real Madrid journalist for La Sexta and former club communications officer, insists such treatment is par for the course. \"When Real Madrid is in crisis, you have to be even more beyond reproach, otherwise everyone comes down on you,\" he says. Former club president Ramón Calderón echoes this: \"When Real Madrid doesn't win, the main target of criticism has always been the team's star. There isn't a great player who hasn't been whistled at and criticized.\"\n\nThe timing is particularly acute because Real Madrid have failed to secure a major trophy this season. The pressure cooker of the Bernabéu is unforgiving when silverware is absent, and Mbappé, as the highest-profile summer arrival, has become the lightning rod for collective disappointment. Polo notes that in such moments, \"there is always a search for a scapegoat, and it's always the star.\" For critics of the club, targeting Mbappé is also a way to question the decisions of president Florentino Pérez, who made the Frenchman the centerpiece of his project.\n\nMbappé's treatment is not without precedent. Sanchez compares the media attention to that endured by Cristiano Ronaldo, Zinedine Zidane, and Luis Figo, but says it pales in comparison to the frenzy around David Beckham. \"Beckham was an icon beyond football. He couldn't leave his house, was hounded by paparazzi, and there has never been so many journalists at the training ground every day. Mbappé doesn't experience that, although since he has been linked with actress Ester Expósito, the celebrity press has taken more interest.\"\n\nThe Frenchman, for his part, reportedly does not understand the cascade of attacks. After all, he has scored 41 goals in as many appearances across all competitions this season, an extraordinary return by any standard. But at Real Madrid, personal statistics are merely a footnote to collective success. Supporters and local media measure value in championships, not goal tallies, and without a league title or Champions League triumph, numbers can feel hollow.\n\nThe danger for both player and club is that the negativity spirals. Mbappé's relationship with the fans, already fragile, could deteriorate further if performances dip or if his body language is misread. The Clasico absence, for instance, was officially due to injury, but the last-minute withdrawal and subsequent controversy fed suspicion that he might have been protecting himself. The smile incident after the Valverde-Tchouaméni clash, however innocent, reinforced the image of a detached celebrity rather than a committed teammate.\n\nFor a player of Mbappé's global stature, the constant dissection of every gesture, tweet, and expression is the price of admission at the world's most demanding club. Sanchez underscores this reality: \"Real Madrid is a religion for many. When you become a player here, you are one 24 hours a day. The media x-ray everything you do: a word, a post, a reaction, a gesture on or off the pitch, a celebration. Everything is relayed, dissected, discussed, and open to interpretation. That's normality here for the stars—the price to pay.\"\n\nThe upcoming match against Oviedo offers an immediate test. Should Mbappé find the net and lead Madrid to a convincing win, the narrative may soften, but only temporarily. At the Bernabéu, forgiveness is conditional and memories are long. As one fan banner reminded a struggling star in the past, \"Here, we don't applaud you, we demand you.\" Mbappé, for all his talent, is learning that lesson the hard way.\n\nBased on reporting from L'Equipe.","news","Kylian Mbappé faces intense scrutiny at Real Madrid, with a Sardinia trip while injured and late arrival sparking criticism despite his 41 goals this season.","326257565195309056","Barcelona","330246834347839489","326135624820068352","La Liga","327052734794567680","Barcelona vs Real Madrid","2026-05-14T04:58:00Z","mbappe-under-fire-at-real-madrid-the-price-of-stardom","L'Equipe","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.lequipe.fr\u002FFootball\u002FArticle\u002FKylian-mbappe-scrute-et-critique-au-real-madrid-c-est-la-normalite-ici-pour-les-stars-et-le-prix-a-payer\u002F1675544#at_medium=RSS_feeds",[63,68,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87],"326257565501493248","326257565740568576","326222707169431552","326222712936599552","326222767416414208","326255038034874368","326222712496197632","326222713142120448",[64,69,89,90,91,92,93,94,95,96],"Espanyol","Oviedo","Anderlecht","Paraguay","Lesotho","FSV Mainz 05","Netherlands","Canada","Mbappé Under Fire at Real Madrid: The Price of Stardom",[99,124,148,172],{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":66,"excerpt":100,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":101,"leagueId":71,"leagueName":72,"matchId":102,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":103,"slug":104,"sourceName":105,"sourceURL":106,"teamId":63,"teamName":64,"teamIds":107,"teamNames":115,"title":123},"Barcelona win La Liga 2025-26 led by Lamine Yamal; Real Madrid's season implodes after Xabi Alonso exit, a dressing room fight, and Pérez's bizarre presser.","337883108965617665","0","2026-06-04T07:00:29Z","la-liga-2025-26-barcelona-dominate-as-real-madrid-implode","The Guardian","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.theguardian.com\u002Ffootball\u002F2026\u002Fjun\u002F04\u002Fla-liga-2025-26-awards-best-players-team-sid-lowe",[63,108,109,110,111,112,113,68,114],"326257641489698816","326255041704890368","326257565702819840","326257565363081216","326257565434384384","326257565602156544","326257565316943872",[64,116,117,118,119,120,121,69,122],"Inter de Valdemoro","Rayo Vallecano","Real Sociedad","Villarreal","Celta Vigo","Real Betis","Valencia","La Liga 2025-26: Barcelona Dominate as Real Madrid Implode",{"awayTeamId":125,"awayTeamName":126,"body":-1,"category":66,"excerpt":127,"homeTeamId":128,"homeTeamName":129,"id":130,"leagueId":71,"leagueName":72,"matchId":131,"matchName":132,"publishedAt":103,"slug":133,"sourceName":105,"sourceURL":134,"teamId":63,"teamName":64,"teamIds":135,"teamNames":141,"title":147},"326222713175674880","Curaçao","Antonio Rüdiger joins UNHCR, using his family's escape from Sierra Leone's civil war to challenge refugee stereotypes ahead of the World Cup.","326222712076767232","Germany","337882782623600641","327115038563241984","Germany vs Curaçao","why-rudiger-backs-refugees-family-s-civil-war-escape","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.theguardian.com\u002Ffootball\u002F2026\u002Fjun\u002F04\u002Fantonio-rudiger-refugees-have-no-other-choice-its-important-they-be-listened-to",[63,128,125,136,137,138,139,140],"326257791503175680","326257546220277760","326222711569256448","326222711653142528","326257536049090560",[64,129,126,142,143,144,145,146],"Sierra Leone","Chelsea","Brazil","Spain","Nice","Why Rüdiger Backs Refugees: Family's Civil War Escape",{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":66,"excerpt":149,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":150,"leagueId":71,"leagueName":72,"matchId":102,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":151,"slug":152,"sourceName":153,"sourceURL":154,"teamId":63,"teamName":64,"teamIds":155,"teamNames":163,"title":171},"Ibrahima Konate is in advanced talks to join Real Madrid on a free transfer, making him the second Liverpool player to join Madrid on a free in two years.","337298705826713601","2026-06-02T16:15:09Z","konate-to-real-madrid-27-year-old-set-for-free-transfer","BBC Sport","https:\u002F\u002Fwww.bbc.com\u002Fsport\u002Ffootball\u002Farticles\u002Fcx218elj1v0o?at_medium=RSS&at_campaign=rss",[63,156,157,158,82,159,160,161,139,162],"326257545918287872","326222711447621632","326257534526558208","326257613643714560","326257766752587776","326257809182167040","326257575404244992",[64,164,165,166,91,167,168,169,145,170],"Liverpool","France","RB Leipzig","Hassania Agadir","Fortaleza EC","Oldham","Vanløse","Konate to Real Madrid: 27-Year-Old Set for Free Transfer",{"awayTeamId":-1,"awayTeamName":-1,"body":-1,"category":66,"excerpt":173,"homeTeamId":-1,"homeTeamName":-1,"id":174,"leagueId":71,"leagueName":72,"matchId":102,"matchName":21,"publishedAt":175,"slug":176,"sourceName":177,"sourceURL":178,"teamId":63,"teamName":64,"teamIds":179,"teamNames":185,"title":191},"France international Ibrahima Konaté is nearing a transfer to Real Madrid after talks advanced in the last 48 hours, per ESPN sources.
