Real Madrid Coach Ancelotti Defends Kylian Mbappe Amid Investigation Reports

By Agency Reporter

Coach Assures Mbappe is Unaffected by Allegations

Carlo Ancelotti, the coach of Real Madrid, stated on Friday that French striker Kylian Mbappe appears to be “unaffected” by recent allegations involving an investigation into an alleged rape during his visit to Stockholm. This follows reports from Swedish media regarding the inquiry, which has drawn significant public attention.

Mbappe’s Legal Response

In response to the allegations, Mbappe’s lawyer expressed that the France captain is “shocked” to find his name associated with such serious claims and plans to take legal action for libel. The forward, who was not selected for France’s UEFA Nations League matches due to injury, had traveled to Stockholm with friends last week.

Ancelotti’s Observations

Ancelotti emphasized his confidence in Mbappe’s mindset, stating, “In this moment, (the reports) are speculations. I see him working every day; he is happy, content, and he doesn’t seem affected to me at all.” He noted that Mbappe is focused on contributing to the team and is looking forward to his return.

The coach also mentioned that the club had given Mbappe time off, allowing him to choose how to spend his days away from training. “The days off were set for him, and beyond that, individuals can choose what they want to do,” Ancelotti explained, underscoring the importance of personal choice in players’ downtime.

Investigation Confirmation and Mbappe’s Remarks

While a Swedish prosecutor has confirmed the opening of an investigation, they have not publicly identified Mbappe as a subject. On Monday, Mbappe took to social media platform X to express his frustration, alleging that the timing of the report coincides suspiciously with a hearing related to his dispute with former club Paris Saint-Germain over a claim of €55 million ($60 million) in unpaid wages. “FAKE NEWS !!!! It’s becoming so predictable, on the eve of the hearing, as if by chance,” he wrote.

Conclusion

Kylian Mbappe’s situation continues to evolve as he navigates both the legal challenges and his responsibilities as a key player for Real Madrid. With Ancelotti’s support and the forward’s determination to focus on football, fans and observers will be keenly watching how this situation unfolds in the coming weeks.
