The Spanish radio station "Cope" revealed that Real Madrid has gradually started to distance itself from French striker Kylian Mbappe at a time when the latter is facing criticism in Spain for four different reasons in recent days.

Mbappe suffered an injury with the French national team during the first match in the international break against Turkey, before returning to Madrid for tests that yielded reassuring results. He was then seen at a nightclub in Paris with his partner, Easter Exposito, and a video was posted showing him riding a bicycle in the Swiss Alps.

These actions sparked criticism in Spain, with one journalist on the program "El Chiringuito" stating: "It is mysterious. He returns injured from the French national team, but he does not receive treatment in the city where he plays." Meanwhile, a Real Madrid fan wrote on the platform "X": It seems that Kylian Mbappe is mocking Real Madrid.

The controversy escalated after Mbappe posted another video while riding the bike, accompanied by a song titled "Good Men Bad Men." Some Spanish media outlets considered the video to carry a message directed at his coach, while Jose Mourinho recently stated that "a football player cannot ride a bike, even if he does it away from the club's eyes," due to the risk of falling.

Sinabri, an analyst at "Cobi", believes that Mbappe's actions are not spontaneous, stating: Mbappe is very smart, and if he posts a picture or engages in a confrontation of this kind, it is because he wants to.

According to the analyst, Real Madrid's management has started to operate a leak machine against Mbappe, and has begun to criticize the team's top scorer. He identified four issues that have caused friction between the two parties: the departure of one of the club's physiotherapists, a disagreement regarding the club's stance on refereeing, the 2026 Ballon d'Or race in which Real Madrid is not actively supporting Mbappe's nomination, in addition to the Ceuta jersey crisis.

A journalist from "Marca" radio also claimed that Mbappe asked Real Madrid officials for support for his Ballon d'Or nomination, but did not receive it, and the player quickly mocked this narrative through a sarcastic message he posted on social media.

According to the program "El Chiringuito", Jose Mourinho spoke directly with Mbappe on Tuesday morning at Valdebebas, the training headquarters of Real Madrid. According to reports, the Portuguese coach told the French player: I will defend you outside when I am criticized because of you, but here, no, I will not defend you.
