Why over 1 million Real Madrid fans are calling for Mbappe to leave
05/05/2026 Despite playing some of his best football this season, it looks like Real Madrid fans want Kylian Mbappe out of the club. It’s been a tumultuous season for the Galaticos, after the ill-fated hiring of Xabi Alonso and Alvaro Arbeloa’s less-than-ideal new-manager bounce. Alonso came in to much fanfare after winning the Bundesliga and DFB Pokal with Bayer Leverkusen in thrilling fashion. But his 3-4-3 formation never went down well with the players, and he barely made it to the new year before being sacked. Xabi Alonso.

He’s reportedly ‘grown apart from the team’ due to his attitude towards staff at Madrid and the perpetual Mbappé vs Vinicius debate, of which most teammates reportedly side with Vinicius despite Mbappé’s form. Then there’s the injuries. Mbappé has missed around a dozen games this year, all mainly due to a persistent knee injury as well as a recent hamstring issue. However, fans have been less than impressed with Mbappe’s trips to Paris and Italy while he’s been out. Doctors check on Real Madrid’s Kylian Mbappe.

The Athletic have also released a report on the off-field tensions at Madrid, in which they revealed that Mbappe insulted a coach during a training groud bust-up, as well as having a row with teammate Antonio Rudiger.
