Last night, Barcelona defeated Real Madrid 3-2 and won the Spanish Super Cup, but the medal ceremony was marked by a tense situation, caused by Kylian Mbappe's unsportsmanlike behavior.
After the match, Barcelona players lined up to honor Real Madrid players who went to collect their second-place medals. According to protocol, Real players were then supposed to return and form a line to honor the winners.
However, that didn't happen. Real Madrid's players didn't respect the winners, and Kylian Mbappe played a key role in this decision.
Thibaut Courtois and several other Real players, after receiving their medals, headed towards the Barcelona players to form a line, but at that moment Mbappe, having just received his medal, started calling them and telling them to leave, asking them not to form a line.
Real Madrid players heard it and left the field, an action that was considered a lack of fair play and interpreted in completely opposite ways by fans of the two clubs.
Barcelona fans condemned Mbappe's behavior, calling him a sore loser, while Real Madrid fans praised him, saying he showed he is a true "Madrileño".
Meanwhile, unlike Mbappe, Real Madrid president Florentino Perez followed official protocol, approached Barcelona players and congratulated each of them individually on the victory. /Telegraph/
