The internet has completely lost its mind over Kylian Mbappé and Real Madrid.
A petition calling for Mbappé’s removal from Real Madrid CF has now reportedly approached 60 million signatures, turning what started as online frustration into one of the wildest fan reactions soccer has ever seen. At the same time, a counter-petition supporting Mbappé and demanding the club keep him has exploded in popularity as well, reportedly breaking a Guinness World Record for engagement.
Just days ago, this entire situation already felt ridiculous. Now it somehow feels even bigger.
Mbappé arrived in Madrid with expectations of creating a dynasty and restoring the club to complete European dominance. Instead, Real Madrid fans are watching a season filled with chaos, criticism, locker-room drama and disappointment. The club crashed out of the Champions League, trails Barcelona in the La Liga title race, and now finds itself surrounded by nonstop controversy.
Because of that, frustration has started falling directly onto Mbappé.
Some fans believe he has not lived up to the pressure of being the face of the club, while others think he has unfairly become the scapegoat for a disappointing overall season. That divide is exactly why both petitions have gained so much traction online.
And honestly, the fact this has become a global internet war says everything about the pressure that comes with playing for Real Madrid.
No other club in the world creates this level of chaos. One bad stretch and suddenly millions of people are signing petitions demanding change. At the same time, millions of others are defending you like their life depends on it.
Whether people love him or hate him, Mbappé remains the center of the soccer world right now.
And with El Clásico coming up this weekend, the pressure somehow keeps getting even bigger.
