The manager peaced out.
There's a petition to get Mbappe out.
The fans want him to go.
Now the players are scrapping in training, and one of them just got sent to the hospital.
Is it time to rebuild in the summer, or does maybe getting rid of Mbappe fix Real Madrid?
Kylian Mbappe.
Somebody started a petition to basically, like, get this man out of my club.
and- Apparently it's a popular one the goal was for, like, 200 and, like, 50000 signatures.
so, like, you know- It blew past that so, so that, so that Florentino Perez could, like, see it.
Oh, no, we have an update.
Oh my God.
It's, it- The last I heard it was, like, 12 million.
Yo, 30 million people.
30 million.
Now, the, We just saw an early update.
It's at 32 million signatures.
Oh my God.
What If 32 million people want you to quit your job- Bro that's like, I'm like, bro.
And not because you can do better- but because of your hair You can't do better.
This is probably the most damning, right?
Without Mbappe, one win.
I mean, with Mbappe, one win.
Without him, six- Yeah in the last 12 matches.
And this is just the, the sad reality of what it is.
You have one of the best players in the world on your team- Yo, look how this is One football messy as hell, bro.
Look at who they put- in the photo.
It's Vini with his ear like- like, "Talk to me, say something.
I can't hear you."
There's a level of baggage, or maybe it's an aura or something, that comes with him that just seems to create problems wherever he goes.
And I think this was similar to, like, when Cristiano Ronaldo went back to Manchester United.
There was just something odd, right?
Like, you wouldn't ever, you would never say no to Cristiano Ronaldo if you're a Manchester United manager or if you're the sporting director.
You would never say no to him coming back in that, in that moment.
But there was something about how it shook up the locker room.
I think we're seeing the same thing with Mbappe.
There's I don't know if it's like To me, my big issue was it felt like, I felt like Bruno, Bruno Fernandes was deferring to R- trying to force to getting the ball.
Yeah.
There was too much of an aura around him.
I don't know what it is with Mbappe, but s- seemingly the locker room's gone to complete .
There's a lot that needs to be fixed, clearly, but does removing Mbappe fix everything?
I don't think so.
