Kylian Mbappé entered the game against Real Oviedo (2-0 for Real Madrid) in the 69th minute, but the scene that followed was one he never expected to encounter at Real Madrid. The entire Santiago Bernabéu stadium began to whistle loudly at Mbappé when he replaced Gonzalo García, marking the culmination of the tensions that have been building within the club over recent weeks.

Mbappé had been recuperating from a tendon injury and was not in the squad for the two-legged match against Barcelona. He took the opportunity to go on vacation to Sardinia with his girlfriend, Ester Exposito. Videos of him enjoying a yacht with her have further angered the Real Madrid fans. An online poll asking for his departure has been signed by nearly 74 million people, indicating the extent to which he has become a thorn in the side of the "kings" supporters.

The trip to Italy is just the latest in a series of incidents that have isolated Mbappé from his teammates. According to The Athletic, last month Mbappé had a heated argument with a member of the coaching staff during training, which led to the staff member suffering a concussion. Mbappé reportedly "furious and insultingly" attacked the staff member, but faced no consequences, further infuriating individuals within the club.

Tensions did not end there. During the match with Oviedo, Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez got into a heated argument with fans, who held up banners reading "Florentino, go now." Pérez recently held a press conference where he harshly criticized La Liga and Barcelona and announced the dissolution of the board. He was caught on camera in a heated debate with some fans.

The match ended with a 2-0 victory for Real Madrid, with Gonzalo García scoring in the 44th minute and Jude Bellingham in the 80th. After his goal, Bellingham celebrated with the fans, while Mbappé's return was met with boos. The result, however, was overshadowed by the fan unrest over their star player.
