Mbappé devastated: “Take off his armband, this is shocking”
Real Madrid forward spotted enjoying himself in Sweden at the same time as France’s game in Budapest, Hungary
While France were beating Israel 4-1 in Budapest, Kylian Mbappé , who was injured and therefore unavailable to play for Les Bleus , was at the same time caught on the way to a nightclub in Stockholm, Sweden, after having dinner in the city centre. The situation did not go down well in France and Jérôme Rothen, a former French international, was full of criticism of the Real Madrid player , who is also the captain of the national team
«This is shocking, Mbappé feels untouchable and doesn’t understand the image this gives to the outside world. The coach’s communication management regarding Mbappé’s situation has been disastrous and what we can learn is that there was an agreement with the player not to play, perhaps because he feels tired. He was put on a pedestal, even above the Eiffel Tower, we can’t pretend that nothing happened, because this shows that there is a player above all the others, even Deschamps. I only ask one thing of the coach: take responsibility and take the captain’s armband away from Mbappé», said the former Monaco player, in a programme on RMC Sport.
