Claim: Facebook video shows<\/a> Mbappe criticising Madrid, requesting contract termination and return to PSG.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Verdict: False. The original video on Real Madrid\u2019s website spotlights Mbappe as he talks about his side\u2019s valiant performance in their 0-3 victory against Real Valladolid. Besides, no reputable media outlet reported the alleged claim.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Full Text<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Less than a year ago, French international Kylian Mbappe joined Spanish giants Real Madrid<\/a> on a free transfer, a month after terminating his contract with his former club, Paris Saint-Germain (PSG).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite winning six league titles<\/a> in Paris and extending his contract<\/a> by two years in 2022, the 26-year-old was always keen on moving to Spain to join Real Madrid. However, despite registering a wholesome 28-goal tally and three assists since playing in LaLiga, he has been hopeless as his new club has clinched no trophy in their 2024\/2025 campaigns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Real Madrid\u2019s chances of winning any silverware are bleak after a disappointing Champions League exit<\/a> and a stunning loss to archrivals Barcelona<\/a> in the Copa Del Rey. Moreover, last week, the Catalans’ 2-0 win against Espanyol<\/a> further stripped Los Blancos of the chance of lifting silverware in the domestic league. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Amidst this, a Facebook user, Moses Ochu<\/a>, shared a video showing the French international berating Madrid for failing to win a trophy in local and international tournaments. Mbappe allegedly requested Real Madrid\u2019s president, Florentino Perez, to terminate his contract so that he could return to Paris. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m asking the Real Madrid president to please terminate my contract immediately. I\u2019m done playing for this dogshit club and I want to go back to Paris now. I\u2019m tired of carrying this shit players every match, even Harry Kane won a trophy yesterday,\u201d the 26-year-old allegedly said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of Friday, May 16, 2025, the claim had earned 18,000 likes, 2,000 comments, and 661,000 views.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While some Facebook users accepted the clip’s authenticity, some were quick to dispel it as artificial intelligence-generated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt may be AI, but there is truth between the lines,\u201d Nyah Kenneth Nsuh expressed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s real. Mbappe does not get any support from the entire team,\u201d Meshai Kai said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is the highest-rated AI video I have seen,\u201d Princely Chika wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis is a big lie. Mbappe has never and would never say such nonsense,\u201d Kadir Ali argued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We also found the claim on  TikTok<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Following the controversy over the post’s validity in the comment section, DUBAWA decided to verify the claim.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Verification<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

DUBAWA subjected some of the video\u2019s keyframes to Google Reverse Image Search. The results suggested the original video was from a post-match interview after Real Valladolid lost to Real Madrid. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

So we conducted a keyword search on Google of Mbappe doing a post-match interview with Real Madrid after Villadolid\u2019s 0-3 defeat to the visitors. We found the original video on Real Madrid\u2019s website<\/a>, where the striker felt ecstatic and spoke about his team\u2019s impressive performance in their clash with Valladolid. This was reported on Jan. 25, 2025<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m happy with the hat-trick. But above all, the three points. It was essential to win today because the Atletico result put us under pressure. We started well, pressing in the opposition\u2019s half and scored the first goal\u2026 We are going to Madrid with this win.\u201d Mbappe said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Madrid Universal<\/a> and Goal.com<\/a> also reported the French international\u2019s post-match interview.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

DUBAWA checked for news reports of the striker\u2019s alleged statements about terminating his contract with the Spanish side but found no credible publications. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Conclusion<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The claim is false. The video is a manipulated version of an interview from Real Madrid\u2019s website, in which Mbappe discussed his side\u2019s triumph over Real Valladolid.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
