Real Madrid fans dismiss ‘fake’ Mbappe rape

Kylian Mbappe of Real Madrid CF waves the audience during the LaLiga match between Real Madrid CF and Villarreal CF at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on October 05, 2024 in Madrid, Spain. Swedish prosecutors on Tuesday confirmed an investigation had been launched - without naming Mbappe - following an alleged rape at a plush Stockholm hotel on Oct. 10. Media in Sweden had reported the French superstar was the target of the probe following his two-day visit to the capital last week, which Mbappe and his lawyer have denied. For Juan Castro, a 72-year-old Real Madrid supporter, the press reports are merely "fake news" that "make no sense". "He's a pretty intelligent person who has lots of ability, he isn't going to make a mistake as stupid as this," the pensioner told AFP outside the club's Berna...

PSG’s Struggle in Draw Against Nice Emphasizes Absence of Messi and Mbappé, Pundit Claims

Paris Saint-Germain head into the FIFA international break on a two-match winless streak following their 1-1 draw to OGC Nice on Sunday night at Allianz Riviera. Nonetheless, one journalist believes that it’s matches like these that the Parisians miss their superstar players. Both teams took five shots each in the first half, but it was the home side that broke the deadlock when Ali Abdi scored in the 39th minute, marking his first goal for Les Aiglons. Nice went into halftime with a 1-0 lead, needing to hold onto that advantage for another 45 minutes to secure all three points. In the second half, PSG significantly outshot Nice, registering 14 shots in total compared to Nice’s four. Luis Enrique’s side equalized in the 52nd minute with a goal from Nuno Mendes. The match would stay 1-1, w...

Kylian Mbappe is expected to ruled out for three weeks after suffering a thigh injury during Real Madrid's LaLiga victory over Alaves on Tuesday night. Mbappe, who scored in a fifth straight match to put his side 2-0 up five minutes before half-time at the Bernabeu, was replaced by Arda Guler in the 79th minute after seemingly feeling some discomfort. A Real statement on Wednesday read: 'After the tests carried out today on our player Kylian Mbappe by the Real Madrid medical team, he has been diagnosed with an injury to the (left thigh).' No further information was disclosed as to the expected timescale of Mbappe's recovery.

Enrique: Don’t expect Dembélé to fill Mbappé void

Paris Saint-Germain coach Luis Enrique has been cautious about tipping Ousmane Dembélé as his team's next top scorer, saying it could be detrimental to his side. Dembélé's second-half strike in Saturday's 1-1 draw at Reims helped PSG maintain their unbeaten run in Ligue 1 and put him in the spotlight as the leading striker to fill the void left by Kylian Mbappé's move to Real Madrid. However, while praising the 27-year-old winger, who has four goals and two assists this season, the coach urged the team as a whole to improve so as not to put too much pressure on just one player. "We're not looking for a goal scorer, because if you put the pressure on Dembélé and then he doesn't score the goals you want him to score, we'll start with the problems," the coach told a news conference on Saturda...

“I am very happy to play with him” – Kylian Mbappe in awe of his Real Madrid teammate

Kylian Mbappe has been in excellent form, scoring for the second game in a row for Real Madrid, this time sealing the 2-0 victory over Real Sociedad with a well-taken penalty. The French star is growing in confidence with every match and is keen on developing a strong partnership with Brazilian teammate Vinicius Jr., believing their connection can greatly benefit the team. Reflecting on the match, Mbappe acknowledged the challenge they faced against a tough opponent, saying, “We knew before the game that it was going to be difficult and in the end, we won,” Mbappe said on Real Madrid TV (h/t Mundo Deportivo). “We suffered a bit playing against a great team but we go home with what we want, which is a victory. We have to continue like this because we have to win many games to get where w...

PSG refuse League order to pay Mbappe disputed $60M

The LFP oversees all matters concerning the top two tiers of football in France, but PSG said they would seek a legal ruling elsewhere. The 25-year-old striker says PSG owe him 55 million euros in wages and bonuses, but the Parisians say Mbappe agreed to waive the money in August 2023. On Thursday, the LFP commission told PSG to pay, reportedly within a week, sparking a response from the Qatari-backed club. "Given the limits of the Commission's legal scope to make a full decision on this matter, the case must now be pursued before another court." "PSG will look forward to presenting all the facts over the coming months and year." Lawyers representing the two parties met early on Wednesday after Mbappe, who joined Real Madrid this summer, had referred his case to the LFP's legal committee.

PSG ordered to pay Kylian Mbappé’s unpaid wages

Kylian Mbappé (25) looks to have won his long-running dispute with former club Paris Saint-Germain concerning unpaid wages, as reported by Le Parisien and L’Équipe. Mbappé went unpaid for the final three months of his PSG contract, from April to June, prior to his move to Real Madrid. The refusal to pay the wages came amid a dispute and a messy divorce between the two parties. Les Parisiens believed that they had an oral, gentleman’s agreement with the France captain that they wouldn’t lose out financially, in the event that he left on a free transfer, which of course he did. That agreement, the club has argued, was stated publically in January, when Mbappé said the following: “With the agreement that I made with the president this summer, regardless of my decision, (at the end of ...

Kylian Mbappe gets off the mark in LaLiga with brace

Kylian Mbappe opened his LaLiga account at the fourth time of asking with a brace to fire Real Madrid to a 2-0 home win over Real Betis. Mbappe had failed to score in Madrid's opening three league fixtures, which resulted in the champions dropping points at Mallorca and Las Palmas. It was a different story on Sunday, with a sumptuous Federico Valverde flick able to set up Mbappe to power home in the 67th minute. He then made it 2-0 eight minutes later from the penalty spot to clinch all three points at Santiago Bernabeu. Mbappe had failed to find the net in his first three LaLiga matches but netted on his first appearance for his new club in the UEFA Super Cup final. Vinicius Jr won the spot-kick but gave it to his to his team-mate, who made no mistake. Prior to the game, manager Ca...

Mbappe scoreless again as Real held to another draw

Kylian Mbappe remains scoreless in the Spanish league for Real Madrid as the defending champions settled for a 1-1 draw at Las Palmas. Mbappé, Madrid's biggest signing in years, has only scored for the powerhouse in the team's UEFA Super Cup victory against Atalanta earlier this month. It was Vinicius Junior who scored for Madrid, who beat Valladolid 3-0 in the previous round but opened their title defence with a 1-1 draw at Mallorca. Vinicius found the net on Thursday for his first league goal this season by converting a 69th-minute penalty kick after a handball inside the area. The hosts had taken the lead five minutes into the match after Alberto Moleiro got past a couple of defenders before finding the net from inside the area. Barcelona on Tuesday became the only team with three ...

Carlo Ancelotti is not worried about Kylian Mbappe’s slow start

Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti is not worried about Kylian Mbappe's start at the club after the France striker failed to score in his opening two league games. Mbappe, 25, joined the LaLiga and Champions League winners as a free agent from Paris St Germain in June, bringing an end to a transfer saga that had rumbled on for years. Despite making a promising start by scoring on his debut to help Real earn a 2-0 win over Europa League champions Atalanta in the UEFA Super Cup final two weeks ago, Mbappe has yet to find the net in two LaLiga games with Real and struggled in a draw at Mallorca and in a dour home win against Real Valladolid. "His last goal was on August 14th. It has only been two weeks since, that is no reason to worry. Neither we are not worried as a club, nor him,...

Kylian Mbappe wants more after Real Madrid home debut

Kylian Mbappe is ready for more following his Real Madrid home debut.

In front of the home fans for the first time, Mbappe showed flashes of his talent, but he is yet to find the net in the famous white shirt.

Kylian Mbappe set for home debut as Carlo Ancelotti seeks to get Madrid on track

Kylian Mbappe will make his home debut for Real Madrid against Real Valladolid on Sunday. Kylian Mbappe's La Liga debut for Real Madrid did not go as planned, as Los Blancos drew at Mallorca last weekend, with coach Carlo Ancelotti believing the Spanish champions lacked "balance." The French superstar striker will make his first home appearance for Madrid at Santiago Bernabeu Stadium on Sunday against promoted side Real Valladolid, owned by former Madrid forward and Brazil great Ronaldo. Mbappe is on course to enjoy a similarly sizable legacy in soccer, but is hoping to make a far greater impact at Madrid than Ronaldo was able to during the club's "galactico" era. Ronaldo won just one La Liga title and failed to lift the Champions League trophy during five seasons in the Spanish capital...
