Kylian Mbappe has found himself in the middle of a storm of controversy after his recent trip to Sweden during the international break. Swedish media reports claim that Stockholm police have opened an investigation into an alleged rape incident at the hotel where Mbappe stayed last week.
However, the Real Madrid star quickly responded, calling the accusations "fake news." He suggested that the timing of these allegations was suspicious and may not be a coincidence.
In a social media post, Mbappe hinted that Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) and the French media might be working together to tarnish his reputation. He linked this to an upcoming legal hearing concerning €55 million that he claims PSG owes him. The hearing is scheduled to take place before the Appeals Tribunal of the Professional Football League.
The relationship between Mbappe and PSG has been strained for a while, and these accusations have only worsened the situation.
Didier Deschamps' Reaction
French national team coach Didier Deschamps voiced his frustration over the situation following France’s 2-1 win against Belgium. In a press conference, Deschamps expressed his concerns about how the controversy has affected the team’s morale.
"This is not good for the French national team. Rumors are everywhere," he said, calling on journalists to be careful and responsible in their reporting. He emphasized the need for accuracy, urging the media to take time before publishing stories that might not be true.
Although Deschamps acknowledged the negative atmosphere, he said he wouldn’t confront Mbappe about the matter directly, noting that the player is "old enough to know how to handle communication."
Mbappe's Response
Mbappe didn’t stay silent. He suggested that PSG and the French media were intentionally trying to harm his image before the €55 million hearing. In his social media post, he wrote, "It’s becoming so predictable, just before the hearing as if by chance."
PSG also reacted to Mbappe’s claims, expressing disappointment in the player’s accusations, though they did not remain silent either.
As the legal battle continues, so does the tension between Mbappe and his former club, making the upcoming hearing even more significant.
