Kylian Mbappé once again became the focus of the public after a controversial statement just before the UEFA Nations League 2025 between France and Spain. In a brief interview on French television, the Real Madrid striker released nine words that were sarcasm aimed at coach Luis de la Fuente and especially the Spanish players who play for FC Barcelona. Although the specific content of the sentence is not transmitted completely, the extended extract in social networks is sufficient to cause a wave of criticism, controversy and support of many sides.
It is said that Mbappé’s statement comes from the boring tension between him and some Spanish players, especially the young group of Barcelona players such as Lamine Yamal, Pedri or Gavi. Although the launch does not have a clear conflict, the competition between Real Madrid and Barcelona seems to be carried by Mbappé at the national team level. Part of the Spanish media said that this was a psychological trick to shake the spirit of the opponent before the important party.
Immediately after the video was widely shared, social networks exploded with many mixed opinions. French fans argue that Mbappé simply shows a strong personality and a burning spirit, while most Spanish fans condemn the behavior they call “disrespectful” and “unnecessary provocation.” Some Spanish journalists even called Mbappé’s words “pouring more oil into the fire” in the context of the relationship between two sensitive football platforms.
The European Football Federation (UEFA) has not yet made any official comment on the incident. However, some sources said the organizers can consider the video to assess whether the acts do not agree with the rules of the tournament. For his part, coach Luis de la Fuente had a quiet attitude when asked about Mbappé’s statement. He only briefly responded that he believed that students would respond on the field instead of words.
Meanwhile, many people believe that Mbappé’s actions show the great pressure he is carrying on his shoulder, especially after officially moving to Real Madrid and is expected to become a new leader of the French team. The next semi -finals are now not only sports but also covered by psychological and communication factors. The performance of both teams will be the most obvious response for any controversy before the ball.
