Real Madrid: Kylian Mbappé heavily criticised again

Kylian Mbappé is at the centre of a new controversy in Spain. The Frenchman appeared on social media in recent hours taking a bike ride.

However, this activity is prohibited by Real Madrid coach Real Madrid José Mourinho. The Special One recently reiterated this in an interview. For Cadena SER journalist Antonio Romero, the French striker's behaviour is unacceptable.

"Mbappé considers himself Real Madrid's star striker, but he also believes he can do whatever he wants. Since no one reprimands him within the club, and people instead laugh at his antics, he feels all the more powerful. His last six months of last season were embarrassing. He needs to show tact; I am beginning to doubt his intelligence. Mbappé will never be able to be the leader of the Real Madrid dressing room. He does not have the personality to be one, and besides, he does not want to be. Someone should tell him: 'This is not Mbappé FC, it is Real Madrid.' You are the highest-paid player in the squad, you have been here for two years and we have not beaten anyone. (...) There is a tense atmosphere at the Santiago Bernabéu, which intensified during this international break. If Mbappé does not play well against Villarreal, he will be booed again," the journalist said on the programme Carrusel Canalla.
