Platini Backs Mbappé’s Anti-Extremism Stand, Warns on Wearing the French Jersey
Michel Platini has defended Kylian Mbappé’s decision to speak out against the far-right in France. In an interview with RTL, the former UEFA president said Mbappé is free to voice his views off the pitch, but cautioned that wearing the French national team armband means representing all citizens. He stressed the risk of dividing fans when high-profile players take public positions. Mbappé has warned that a National Rally victory could have serious consequences for France. As the World Cup qualifying campaign approaches, the Real Madrid forward will now need to refocus on football.
