Journalist Manu Carreño has weighed in on Kylian Mbappe’s controversial social media post during El Clasico, suggesting the Real Madrid star’s “Hala Madrid” message was a calculated move.
During the heated match between Barcelona and Real Madrid, Mbappe sparked widespread debate by sharing a photo of himself watching the game alongside the caption “Hala Madrid,” despite his team trailing by two goals at the time.
Speaking on the SER radio program El Larguero, Carreño, as reported by Mundo Deportivo, questioned the timing and intent behind the post. “What about Real Madrid? You can lose the league to a more consistent and organized Barcelona, but what Madrid fans cannot accept is seeing the team collapse, nearly disappear, or self-destruct as the season ends,” Carreño said.
The journalist further implied that Mbappe’s action was deliberate, aimed at sending a specific message amid the club’s struggles. The post has fueled further scrutiny of the French star’s mentality and commitment to the team.
