Kylian Mbappé is under heavy pressure at Real Madrid despite scoring a lot of goals this season.
He has scored 41 goals in the current season, which is a strong individual record. But fans are still unhappy because the team has not won major trophies since he joined. Some supporters feel the team is not balanced when he plays.
There is also online backlash. A petition asking for him to leave has reportedly reached over 26.5 million signatures. Fans are frustrated with his style of play, his attitude reports, and his recent injury period where he was seen travelling during recovery.
Another issue is dressing room tension. Reports suggest there have been disagreements inside the club and some believe he plays too individually instead of linking with teammates like Vinícius Júnior and Jude Bellingham.
Even though he is scoring a lot, the team’s lack of big trophies is the main reason for criticism. Real Madrid also had strong winning runs in matches without him, which has added to the debate.
At this stage, the situation is unclear. The club has not made any official decision, and he is still a key player because of his goal scoring. But fan pressure is very high, and it is becoming a major storyline around the club.

Mbappé faces backlash over injury break trip to Sardinia amid Real Madrid criticism
Mbappé is facing backlash from some Real Madrid fans because he travelled to Sardinia while he was out injured with a hamstring problem.
The club had actually given injured players permission for rest days, including Mbappé, Courtois and Arda Güler. So the trip itself was allowed by the club. Photos from his trip in Italy spread online and were widely shared. Some supporters also reposted negative images and started calling him out on social media.
The reaction got stronger because this came just before a big run of matches, including El Clasico. A section of fans felt he should have stayed fully focused on recovery.
There was also an online petition asking fans to take action, which added more attention to the situation. The criticism increased further after he was seen with a public figure during the same period, which also spread quickly online.
Real Madrid coach Álvaro Arbeloa defended players in general, saying they can use their free time how they want. But he also stressed effort and hard work as key values at the club, and said no player is bigger than Real Madrid.
Mbappé’s camp responded by saying the criticism is being overblown. They said his recovery is closely managed by the club and he is fully committed to the team.
