Is Kylian Mbappé struggling with psychological issues?
The star forward of Real Madrid and the French national team, Kylian Mbappé, appears to be facing psychological difficulties. According to Bild, citing the French newspaper L'Equipe, the footballer has recently been under significant stress, experiencing emotional exhaustion. Multiple sources close to Mbappé have confirmed that he is indeed dealing with mental health challenges.
“He feels like he isn't loved in France as much as he would like. The constant attention he attracts everywhere seems to be affecting his performance on the pitch,” shared L'Equipe correspondent Antoine Simonnot.
The past few months have been a tough period for Mbappé. His adaptation at Real Madrid has been far from smooth, and he was notably left out of the French squad by coach Didier Deschamps for the upcoming Nations League matches. Additionally, the player is currently embroiled in a scandal involving allegations of sexual assault, for which he is under investigation in Sweden.
Adding to the stress is his ongoing legal dispute with his former club, PSG. While Mbappé recently won a lawsuit over unpaid wages, with a court ruling in his favor for $55 million, PSG has continued to withhold the funds owed to him.
