Is Mbappe unhappy at Real Madrid?

Mbappe still shines, but there's something about him that always leaves him feeling incomplete.

Le Journal du Real revealed that Kylian Mbappe is angry for a number of reasons. What angers the French striker most is the way the team handled his knee injury. Mbappe is reportedly unhappy with the diagnosis and treatment process, feeling that things haven't been handled properly.

Besides his physical condition, Mbappe is also reportedly unconvinced by coach Alvaro Arbeloa's methods. The 27-year-old striker doubted the coach's abilities from the start and disagreed with some of his tactical ideas.

One of the biggest frustrations was Arbeloa's decision to deploy Mbappe on the right wing in several matches. Most notably, in the 2025/26 Champions League quarter-final against Bayern Munich, the French star wasn't playing in his preferred position on the left wing or as a central striker.

Furthermore, Le Journal du Real reported that Mbappe believes there are players in the current dressing room who are not on the same level as him. This detail is controversial, as it reflects his disappointment with the quality of the squad but also partly exposes the former PSG star's excessive ego.

However, Real Madrid has not yet given an official response. Given the team's turbulent season, any information related to Mbappe will undoubtedly continue to attract attention in the coming period.

Mbappe has scored 41 goals this season for Real Madrid, a number that speaks volumes about the French striker's influence in a team that is already quite unstable. However, his thirst for conquest and somewhat selfish personality as a 2018 World Cup winner have often drawn criticism from the public.
