Real Madrid superstar Kylian Mbappe made his return to the pitch on Thursday night against Real Oviedo in La Liga with the league already lost. And because Mbappe had pulled out of training in the final minutes of the last session before the Clasico that lost them the league after returning to practice from an apparent season ending injury that many of the fans weren't buying after photos of him on vacation in Italy emerged, they were ready to let him hear it.
The frustration around the Santiago Bernabeu has reached a breaking point, and while Mbappe is not the only player fans are upset with, he has become the poster child of the current malaise of the club since they were the best team in the world before his arrival - and now the team he has left has usurped Real Madrid as the best.
So every time Mbappe touched the ball when he came off the bench against Real Oviedo, the Madridistas booed him. They booed him like they have never booed him before, using the energy they had for jeering Vinicius Junior and multiplying that by 10.
Real Madrid fans booed Kylian Mbappe forcefully
Real Madrid fans are frustrated that their highest paid player, the one who joined them when they were already the best team in the world, isn't defending and is causing more controversies off the pitch than he is solving problems on the pitch. Los Blancos were a great team before Mbappe and were sold on becoming an even better team by president Florentino Perez with Mbappe, but these new Galacticos have been more dysfunctional and less successful.
There were rumors heading into the Oviedo game that Mbappe would be afraid of facing the boos from the Madrid fans, and unlike Vinicius Junior and his idol Cristiano Ronaldo before him, Mbappe did indeed look completely thrown off by them. He did still register an assist en route to a Real Madrid win over Oviedo, but even after the game, his demeanor and comments at the press conference were not that of a fighter.
Whereas Jude Bellingham and Vinicius Junior apologized and applauded the fans who booed them, Kylian Mbappe sulked. The fans have voiced their displeasure to Florentino Perez, who acted at his press conference as if anyone who boos his players are ultras against the club. But these were true Madridistas of the capital, bleeding White as much as the president or players. And they made their stance clear. We are not happy with Mbappe, we are not happy with the current direction of the club, and you need to fix this.
