Why do millions of Real Madrid fans want Mbappe out?

Real Madrid have had a disappointing 2025-26 campaign, as they are set to end the season without a trophy.

Despite Madrid’s struggles, Mbappe has been impressive with his performances this term.

He has scored 41 goals and created six assists in 41 appearances across all competitions.

However, an online petition demanding the removal of Mbappe has gathered around 40 million signatures.

The sheer number is staggering, but it is uncertain whether all 40 million signatories are Madrid fans or whether many of them signed multiple times.

Although it is fair to assume that a significant number of the club’s supporters are unhappy with the France international.

Given the forward’s excellent performances this season, it is hard to understand why such a large number of fans want him out of the club.

Why so many are angry with Mbappe

While the exact grievances of the fans are unclear, Mbappe’s photos with actress Ester Exposito, which were widely circulated on social media, appeared to be the main source of their anger towards the player.

The 27-year-old was given time off to recover from a thigh injury sustained last month, but he was seen vacationing in Italy with his partner Exposito.

That sparked a huge reaction from the fans, who questioned his commitment to the club.

If Madrid fail to win, the Blaugrana will be crowned champions.

Despite the petition, Madrid are unlikely to make any decision regarding his future at the Santiago Bernabeu.

The World Cup winner has been a consistent performer, and he is contracted until the summer of 2029.
