In an interview with Vanity Fairthe Madrid striker explicitly outlined his fears regarding a potential far-right electoral victory. Detailing his opposition, Mbappe stated: “It affects me, I know what it means and what consequences it can have for my country when people like them come to power.”
Responding to this on RTLPlatini clarified: “Kylian Mbappe is right to take a stand when he’s not wearing the captain’s armband or the French national team jersey. If he’s in Madrid or elsewhere, he can take a political stance, of course. But with the French national team armband, with the French national team jersey, you’re playing for all French people. So it’s difficult to take a stand.”
