Kylian Mbappe faced loud boos and whistles from Real Madrid fans after his image appeared on the big screen at the Bernabeu on Sunday during the club’s clash with Athletic Bilbao.
The French superstar, currently serving a suspension following his red card against Alaves, was in the stands due to his ineligibility to play. But rather than cheers, the 22-goal La Liga forward was met with hostility from the home crowd possibly fueled by his disappointing display against Arsenal in Madrid’s recent Champions League quarter-final exit, where he failed to make an impact across both legs.

Mbappe is also reportedly nursing an ankle injury, putting his availability for the Copa del Rey final against Barcelona in serious doubt. With La Liga slipping from their hands and Barcelona closing in, the Copa final could be Real Madrid’s only remaining shot at domestic silverware this season.
Los Blancos will take on Getafe midweek before the high-stakes final clash with Barça next weekend, but whether Mbappe will be fit enough to feature is still unknown. One thing is clear: fan patience with the star forward is starting to wear thin.
