“Real” legend. Mbappe is not a fraud… and what is happening to him is unfair

Real Madrid legend Jorge Valdano has come to the defense of Kylian Mbappe following a barrage of criticism aimed at the French star in his first season at the Royals, insisting it is completely unfair to blame him for a slump in results.

Mbappe has had a tough time in the media despite his strong numbers, especially with Real Madrid’s current situation compared to what PSG have to offer after the player’s departure, which has opened the door wide to controversy over his true impact at the Santiago Bernabeu.

Valdano said on the air of the Spanish “Movistar” network. “He won the World Cup, reached the final of another game and scored three goals in the final game. We are not talking about a fraud, but perhaps the best player in the world.”

The legend of Real Madrid added that the criticism of Mbappé has exceeded the limits of logic, especially with what is happening in Paris and Real Madrid, related to the name of the French player.

“To hold this man responsible for everything that is happening with Paris Saint-Germain and with Real Madrid, even though he is the top scorer in the league, seems unfair to me.”

Mbappe has come under a lot of pressure since his move to Real Madrid, particularly after an inconsistent season at the club, with Paris Saint-Germain on the verge of a second Champions League title since his departure.
