Kylian Mbappe has mocked reports claiming he is unhappy with Real Madrid because the club is not supporting his candidacy for the Ballon d’Or.
The Real Madrid forward responded in the comments beneath a video in which the rumour was discussed, writing: “And I also fell out with my grandmother.”
Real Madrid have taken a cool stance towards the Ballon d’Or in recent years. In 2024, the Spanish club decided at the last moment to boycott the awards ceremony after reports emerged that Manchester City midfielder Rodri was set to win the prize.
Real Madrid were convinced the award should have gone to one of their own players.
