An online petition calling for Kylian Mbappé to leave Real Madrid has surpassed 1.8 million signatures, far exceeding its original 200,000-signature goal. The "MbappeOUT" campaign was fueled by reports of the French forward's heated training clash, late arrivals to team meals, and perceived privileges. Real Madrid won five straight games during Mbappé's hamstring injury absence before a recent 2-0 victory over Espanyol, but fans cite his individualism as a reason for frustration. Mbappé's camp has dismissed some criticisms as overinterpretations of his club-supervised recovery. He eyes a return for Sunday's El Clásico against Barcelona.
Key Points:
- Over 1.8 million fans have signed a petition demanding Mbappé's exit.
- Madrid won five consecutive games without him during his injury absence.
- Reports of training clashes and late arrivals have fueled fan frustration.
- Mbappé is targeting a return for Sunday's high-stakes El Clásico.
- Barcelona currently leads Real Madrid by one point in the title race.
