Mbappé refused to do a guard of honor after defeat against Barcelona

Kylian Mbappé’s reaction after Real Madrid’s defeat against Barcelona in the Spanish Super Cup final continues to give a lot to talk about and is sparking debate among fans and commentators. The French forward did not hide his frustration after the 3-2 defeat against his eternal rival.

At the medal ceremony, Real Madrid players complied with protocol and received a guard of honor from Barcelona. However, when it came time to return the gesture and remain on the pitch for the Catalans’ celebration, Mbappé spoke out against it. Visibly uncomfortable, he asked his colleagues to leave the pitch, showing disagreement with the demonstration of fair play.

Images of the moment quickly spread across social media, generating divided opinions. There are those who argue that the attitude reflects the player’s ambition and extreme competitiveness, while others point to a lack of sportsmanship and question his role as leader in a club the size of Real Madrid.
