Star player of Real Madrid, the captain of the France team was deleted from a photo posted by his club.
It’s a case that the French team would have done without: this Tuesday morning, the Swedish prosecutor’s office announced the opening of an investigation into a rape in the Stockholm hotel where Kylian Mbappé stayed. If the captain of the Blues is not directly cited,
Swedish daily newspapers Aftonbladet And
Expressen point the finger at him by designating him as the potential author of the alleged acts.
For his part, the player clearly contested these facts by publishing a post on his X account in which he describes these dispatches as “ fake news » and accuses (without citing him) his former club, Paris Saint-Germain. The affair took on enormous proportions given the media weight of the French star. This Tuesday, there is a new element that is causing a reaction in Spain.
Why would Real Madrid remove Mbappé from a photo?
Could this bad buzz around Kylian Mbappé encourage Real Madrid to change its habits regarding the exposure of its summer recruit? This is the hypothesis retained by the Spanish press after Mbappé was deleted from a photo published by Real.
In a photo posted by the White House on social networks and relayed by Jude Bellingham, we can see the England international accompanied by Kylian Mbappé. However, Real’s publication concerns the same photo, but without the presence of Mbappé, as if the image had been digitally retouched. Nothing confirms that the affair is at the origin of this approach. Kylian Mbappé is in fact the historic muse of Nike, competitor of Adidas, while this photo is part of the brand’s campaign with the three stripes for Real.
