Mbappé Breaks Silence: ‘My Only Mistake Was Not Winning Titles’ Amid Italy Trip Backlash
Kylian Mbappé has finally responded to criticism over his recent holiday in Italy with Ester Expósito while recovering from injury. After coming off the bench in Real Madrid’s 2-0 win over Real Oviedo, he said, “My only mistake has been not helping the team win titles this season. All the rest is just opinions.” The trip sparked an online petition calling for his exit from the club, with some fans viewing the getaway as a lack of commitment. Mbappé’s camp dismissed the backlash as an exaggerated take on a recovery period that remained under club supervision. Despite boos from sections of the crowd on his return, Mbappé assisted Jude Bellingham’s late goal to help secure victory. He remains composed, noting that handling fan criticism comes with life as a high-profile player at the Santiago Bernabéu.
