Since his controversial trip to Stockholm last week, Kylian Mbappé has lost his star status in the eyes of Pascal Dupraz.
Everyone has their say on the Mbappé affair. Since his controversial trip to Sweden last week, which ended in an accusation of rape, the French striker has been at the heart of a media cyclone. A storm which did not prevent him from scoring the first of two goals for Real Madrid on the pitch of Celta Vigo (1-2), Saturday evening as part of the 10th day of La Liga. Still nothing to soften Pascal Dupraz.
In the show The Big Mouths of SportSunday on the airwaves of RMC, the former coach of Toulouse in Ligue 1 thus let loose on the captain of the Blues, believing that he is not
“not a star”. For him, several criteria must be met to obtain this status: “the talent of the champion, his track record, his notoriety, his popularity, the emotions he provides, his exemplarity, his emoluments and the notoriety of his sport”.
“Kylian Mbappé is no longer exemplary”
And according to the consultant, Kylian Mbappé no longer ticks all these boxes, unlike Antoine Dupont, the scrum half from Stade Toulousain, gold medalist with the Blues in rugby sevens this summer at the Olympic Games. “What makes the difference between Mbappé and Dupont is that if Dupont was not world champion with the French XV (in 2023), it is certainly because he was injured during this competition”he believes.
And Pascal Dupraz continued: “Now I refer you to subjectivity. For me, Mbappé is not a star because he is no longer exemplary. Dupont is. This is my way of defining the star system. For me, Dupont embodies the ideal son-in-law, the boy who lights up his sport. » An opinion which risks spreading among many sports fans, increasingly disgusted by extra-sporting matters affecting football.
