Mbappé has become a burden to the team + unable to accept defeat; after losing the Spanish Super Cup, Mbappé told his teammates not to applaud Barça

In competitive sports, it’s embarrassing to miss key players when winning, and even more embarrassing to lose championships repeatedly. Mbappé’s transfer from Paris to Real Madrid revealed that his tactical value is negative; although he seems to score a lot, his lack of defensive effort and style that drains the whole team’s tactics completely weigh the team down. In the summer 2024 transfer window, Mbappé joined Real Madrid on a free transfer from Paris. Meanwhile, Paris, without Mbappé, thrived under Enrique’s coaching, winning the Champions League, Ligue 1, the UEFA Super Cup, and three other titles for a total of six trophies. Their core player Dembélé won the 2025 Ballon d’Or, becoming a superstar, and many players’ market values soared. Last season, with Mbappé, Real Madrid ended empty-handed in all four major competitions. This season, the Real Madrid coach changed from Ancelotti to Alonso, but the Galácticos, still with Mbappé, once again failed to win the title, losing to their rivals.

In the Spanish Super Cup final, Barça defeated Real Madrid 3-2 to successfully defend their title and exact revenge, claiming their 16th Spanish Super Cup in club history. This was also the fourth trophy won by the German coach Flick since taking charge of Barça! After the match, Mbappé, frustrated by the loss, acted unfriendly by repeatedly telling Real Madrid teammates not to applaud Barça’s victory and urging them to leave the pitch quickly. Regarding this, the Spanish media outlet Mundo Deportivo commented,Mbappé cannot accept defeat; he told his teammates not to applaud the champion team Barça. According to AS, after Barça lifted the trophy, Real Madrid players gathered near the sidelines and quickly left the field following Barça’s celebration.

Fans joked about this: Mbappé, carrying the air of an old acquaintance! Someone who can’t handle losing, how could they ever win again? His character has already been discredited. Paris without Mbappé became six-time champions, while Real Madrid with Mbappé keeps losing titles and ends up empty-handed in all four major competitions. Where does the problem lie? Perhaps it’s clear to everyone now! This is called “Mbappé curse.”
