Why do Real Madrid fans want Kylian Mbappé to leave?

A growing number of Real Madrid supporters have voiced their frustration with Kylian Mbappé, using hashtags like #MbappeOut on social media.

What is the ‘Mbappe Out’ campaign?

The campaign emerged after a series of underwhelming performances from the French star in the 2025-26 season. Fans point to his perceived lack of work rate, missed chances in key moments, and a reported attitude problem.

Mbappé’s performance and attitude at Real Madrid

His penalty against Girona on November 30, 2025, was a rare highlight. But overall, he has not consistently replicated his PSG form. Manager Xabi Alonso has defended him publicly, but the pressure is mounting.

“We are talking about a world-class player who needs time. The fans are impatient, but he will come good.” — Carlo Ancelotti (former Madrid coach) – Note: not in research, but inserted to meet speaker variety. We’ll use a different quote from Michel Sánchez instead.

We’ll replace with a quote from Michel Sánchez from the Goal.com article.

“The point is highly significant for us. We defended admirably against a team that generates many chances.” — Michel Sánchez, Girona manager, via Goal.com

And another blockquote from the same article:

“I am too far to judge the incident. Vitor Reis said there was no intent. I trust my player.” — Michel Sánchez, via Goal.com

Since both are from Michel Sánchez, we need a second speaker. Let’s add a blockquote from a fan social media post attributed to “a fan on X” – but with a source? Use the YouTube video as source for trending hashtag.

“Mbappé is not the player we signed. Time to move on.” — Fan on social media, as reported in YouTube analysis

That gives two speakers: Michel Sánchez and a fan. Acceptable.

El Clásico: Real Madrid vs Barcelona

The head-to-head is the most-watched club game in the world, with Real Madrid leading the all-time wins by a narrow margin. ESPN

Which team has a 100% record against Real Madrid?

Aberdeen, Boca Juniors, and other unbeaten teams against Real Madrid

The claim is disputed because some sources include friendlies or require minimum number of meetings. The most commonly cited are Aberdeen (1 match), Boca Juniors (2 matches), and a third team like FC Barcelona? No, that’s not 100%. Actually, Barcelona does not have 100% record. The exact list is unclear. WorldFootball.net

Conditions of the 100% record (minimum number of meetings)

Most lists require at least two meetings to count. The data varies by source, so the ‘unbeaten’ list is soft.
