Veฤernji List reports on a supposed fan revolution brewing at Real Madrid, with an astonishing online petition reportedly signed by over 16 million supporters calling for the exit of star forward Kylian Mbappe. The "Mbappe out" campaign has seemingly exploded, far surpassing its initial goal of 200,000 signatures. However, the sheer scale of these numbers warrants caution, as the petition was hosted on a free, AI-powered website allowing unlimited, unverified signatures.
Despite the questionable figures, the sentiment reflects a growing frustration among the fanbase. As Real Madrid faces the prospect of ending the season without a trophy, Mbappe's actions, such as vacationing in Sardinia while the team struggles, have drawn criticism. Although his trip was reportedly approved by the club, it has irked supporters already concerned about the team's performance.
Madridisti, neka se vaลก glas ฤuje
Adding to the unrest are reports from Spanish media suggesting Mbappe enjoys excessive privileges, maintains distance from teammates, and exhibits a poor attitude. His current absence due to a hamstring injury further complicates matters, casting doubt on his availability for crucial upcoming matches. The article highlights a stark contrast between the player's star status and the perceived lack of commitment to the club's immediate challenges, fueling the discontent that has manifested in this extraordinary, albeit unverified, online protest.
