Kylian Mbappe named Real Madrid Player of the Year despite fan jeers

Kylian Mbappe has been named Real Madrid's Player of the Season for the second consecutive year. Despite the 27-year-old forward's prolific performance, his achievements were overshadowed by fan discontent due to the tense atmosphere at the Santiago Bernabeu and a trophy-less campaign. This is reported by Goal.com .

The French star scored 25 goals in La Liga, winning the Golden Boot for the second time in a row. He also led the Champions League scoring charts with 15 goals. In total, Mbappe made 44 appearances across all competitions, recording 42 goals and 7 assists. Since joining as a free agent from PSG, he has scored 86 goals in 103 matches.

However, these personal records occurred against a backdrop of Real Madrid's collective failures. The club failed to win La Liga, the Champions League, the Copa del Rey, or the Supercopa over the last two seasons. This situation sparked fan outrage. Even during the match against Real Oviedo, supporters jeered stars like Vinicius Junior and Aurelien Tchouameni.

Instability at the club also affected the coaching staff. Within two years, the team was led by three managers: Xabi Alonso replaced Carlo Ancelotti, and later Alvaro Arbeloa took temporary charge. Now, Jose Mourinho is expected to return to Madrid for a second spell to restore order.

Kylian Mbappe is now focusing his attention on the 2026 World Cup with the France national team. He currently has 12 World Cup goals, tying him with Pele. He needs 4 more goals to break the all-time record set by Miroslav Klose.
