Kylian Mbappé has ignited a storm inside the Real Madrid fanbase after openly telling supporters to “boo all of us” instead of singling out Vinícius Jr., a statement that has divided opinion at the Santiago Bernabéu and beyond.
Following another underwhelming team performance, Vinícius Jr. and Jude Bellingham were targeted by sections of the crowd, with whistles raining down whenever they touched the ball. While booing underperforming stars is nothing new at Madrid, Mbappé’s blunt response has shifted the spotlight from the pitch to the stands.
“It’s not Vini’s fault. It’s the fault of the squad,” Mbappé said, insisting that criticism should be collective rather than personal. The French forward went further, urging fans to stop isolating individual players and instead hold the entire team accountable.
The comments have been praised by some as strong leadership and dressing-room unity, but others see them as dangerously confrontational. For a club where fan pressure has historically driven standards, telling supporters how to react has not gone down well with everyone. Critics argue that Mbappé, still adapting to life at Madrid, is already overstepping his role by challenging the very culture that defines the club.
