0:00It has leaked who is leading for the
0:03Ballon d'Or and, at Madrid's training
0:05ground, it has landed like a bombshell
0:07because, when Mbappé found out, he
0:10didn't smile, he didn't celebrate
0:12anything; he exploded, and not at a
0:14rival, not at a referee, not at the
0:16press—he exploded at his own
0:18president, at Florentino Pérez. Today
0:22I am going to tell you what Mbappé
0:23said to his closest circle when he saw
0:25what was happening. I am going to tell
0:28you what Florentino has done, or rather
0:30, what he has not done, because that is
0:32what has broken everything. And I am
0:35going to tell you the decision Mbappé
0:38has made for January. A decision that
0:40nobody in the Bernabéu executive box
0:42wants to hear. But there is something
0:44more. On October 26 in London, the
0:47Ballon d'Or will be presented by Lionel
0:49Messi. And there are only two reasons
0:52why Messi is traveling to that gala,
0:53only two. And one of them is going to
0:56hurt Mbappé a lot. I will tell you
0:59that at the end because first you need
1:01to know everything that has happened,
1:03and it is a lot. Let's start at the
1:06beginning, with the leak. The bomb
1:09doesn't come from Madrid, it comes from
1:10France, it comes from L'Équipe. The
1:14most important sports newspaper in
1:16France, the Paris daily, L'Équipe, has
1:18released its Ballon d'Or poll and the
1:20result is devastating. First, Kylian
1:23Mbappé with 34.2%. Second,
1:28Kvaratskhelia with 24.3%. Third, Harry
1:33Kane with 8.6%. A 10-point lead. 10.
1:38That isn't just leading, that is
1:40running away with it. And Lamine, off
1:42the podium, completely out. We will
1:44talk about that later because there is
1:46a lot to unpack, but notice the detail.
1:49Look closely. Mbappé no longer plays
1:51in France. He left Paris a long time
1:53ago. He left PSG through the back door,
1:56and even so, France continues to push
1:58for him. Front pages, polls, debates on
2:02French television, entire talk shows
2:05dedicated to explaining why Mbappé
2:07deserves the Ballon d'Or. That has a
2:11name. It is called a campaign, a
2:14full-blown campaign, and it is not just
2:16any campaign. In France, they are
2:19convinced that this year it is his turn
2:21. They say Kvara has had a great season
2:24, yes, but that he doesn't have the
2:26name. That Kane scores goals, yes. But
2:30that he doesn't win anything, and the
2:32only one who has it all is Mbappé:
2:34goals, fame, and the French national
2:37team behind him. In Paris, they present
2:40it almost as an outstanding debt, as if
2:42the Ballon d'Or had belonged to him for
2:45years. Notice the paradox. France, the
2:48country he left, is rolling out the red
2:50carpet for him. And now, the question
2:52that changes everything. And what about
2:54Madrid? What has Real Madrid done for
2:56its star? Silence. Not a tweet, not a
3:00video, not a friendly front page,
3:02nothing. Zero. A Parisian newspaper
3:05does more for Mbappé than his own club
3:07. And that has hit Mbappé like a kick
3:11to the stomach. And here is something
3:14that the Madrid fan cannot overlook. Do
3:17you remember what Madrid did for
3:18Vinicius two years ago? When they found
3:21out Vinicius wasn't winning the Ballon
3:23d'Or, the entire club took a stand;
3:25they didn't go to the gala—not the
3:27president, not the players, no one. A
3:30historic snub, with the entire Madrid
3:32fanbase behind their player. For
3:34Vinicius, Madrid was capable of
3:36standing up the entire gala. For
3:38Mbappé, not even a tweet. Two players,
3:41two different standards, and Mbappé
3:43knows it perfectly well. But wait,
3:46because this is no coincidence. This
3:49has a backstory, and I am going to tell
3:52you the whole thing. If you want to
3:55know what is really happening in the
3:57Madrid locker room, what they don't
3:59tell you on TV, subscribe to the
4:01channel because we tell you what others
4:03keep quiet about, and you won't hear
4:06today's story anywhere else. Let's get
4:09to what happened in Madrid, because
4:11Mbappé didn't just sit idly by.
4:13According to Radio Marca, Mbappé asked
4:15the club to campaign for him for the
4:17Ballon d'Or. He asked for it directly,
4:19without beating around the bush. He
4:21wanted what Madrid had done back in the
4:23day for others. Videos, messages, media
4:26pressure, the whole club apparatus
4:28pushing for him. And do you know what
4:31the answer was? No. A blunt no. The
4:34club refused, and it doesn't end there.
4:37Because Mbappé also asked Zidane for
4:39it. Zidane, his idol, the man who just
4:42called him up for France—he asked him
4:44to pull some strings, to speak out, to
4:47take a public stand, and meanwhile, do
4:49you know what a teammate of his in the
4:51locker room was doing? Bellingham. Jude
4:54Bellingham. Bellingham was campaigning,
4:57but not for Mbappé. Bellingham was
4:59campaigning for Harry Kane, for a
5:02player from another team, for his
5:04England captain. A locker room teammate
5:07asking for votes for someone else.
5:09While the club looks the other way.
5:12Imagine how Mbappé felt seeing that.
5:15And watch out, because in Madrid, not
5:17everyone sides with him, far from it.
5:20Juanma Rodríguez said it very clearly
5:22on television, that he was embarrassed
5:24for Mbappé to ask for a campaign
5:26without having won anything, without
5:28having won anything with Madrid. That
5:31is the key. And Radio Marca also
5:33mentioned a detail that went almost
5:36unnoticed. The derby against Atlético.
5:40As they tell it, Mbappé strolled
5:42around the field without intensity,
5:43without fighting for a ball. In the
5:46locker room, they read it clearly. That
5:49wasn't fatigue, that was resentment.
5:52Resentment because the club hadn't
5:54given him what he asked for. And here
5:56we must ask ourselves one thing: why is
5:59Madrid saying no to him? Because at the
6:02top of the club, so they say, they
6:03don't see it clearly that Mbappé
6:05deserves it this year. They see him as
6:08a player who is out for himself, who
6:10thinks more about his career than the
6:12badge. And campaigning for him would be
6:14rewarding exactly that, rewarding the
6:16getaways, the flights, and the lack of
6:18commitment. So Madrid decides to stay
6:21silent, and that silence for Mbappé is
6:23worth more than 1,000 words because the
6:26message is crystal clear. We are not
6:28going to lift a finger for you. And
6:31Mbappé, who is a player who lives off
6:33his image, who cares for every detail
6:34of his brand, cannot stand it. Because
6:37for Mbappé, the Ballon d'Or is not
6:39just another award; it is his life's
6:41obsession. Since he was a child, with
6:44posters of Cristiano in his room, he
6:46dreamed of that trophy, and now that he
6:48has it closer than ever, he feels his
6:50club is abandoning him. He came to
6:53Madrid to win the Ballon d'Or. That was
6:56the promise. Madrid is the club of the
6:59Ballon d'Ors. Cristiano won them here.
7:03Modrić won it here, Benzema won it
7:05here, and now that it's his turn, the
7:07club stands by with arms crossed. But
7:10this is not the worst part. The worst
7:12part is what Mbappé let out about the
7:17team when he saw France rallying behind
7:19him and Madrid in silence. That is what
7:22is coming up now. And it is very
7:24intense. Mbappé opened the newspaper,
7:26saw his name at the top, saw the 34%,
7:29and then looked at his phone. He looked
7:33for something from Madrid, a message, a
7:35video, anything, nothing. And that is
7:38when he exploded. According to his
7:40closest circle, Mbappé said a phrase
7:42that is already circulating through the
7:44halls of the training complex. The
7:46project is not serious. Just like that,
7:49without anesthesia. The project is not
7:52serious and I am not the only one who
7:53thinks so, I am not the only one. Pay
7:56attention to that. He is saying that
7:58there are more players in the locker
8:00room who think the same thing. And then
8:02, according to sources close to the
8:04player, he finished with another even
8:06harsher phrase. I am more wanted by a
8:08newspaper in Paris than by my own club.
8:11A Paris newspaper more than Real Madrid
8:14. For a player who waited 7 years to
8:16come to Madrid, that is a stab in the
8:18back. And according to reports, it
8:21wasn't just a stray remark. He called
8:23his people, his mother Fayza Lamari,
8:25who handles all his affairs, and told
8:28them he wanted to know what options
8:30there were, what clubs would be willing
8:32to make a move. That is no longer just
8:35being upset; that is preparing an exit.
8:38And do you know what they replied? That
8:41with his name, doors open on their own,
8:43that in England there are clubs that
8:46wouldn't hesitate for a second, and
8:48that in Paris, even though he left on
8:50bad terms, the door was never fully
8:52closed. Pay attention to that, because
8:55in France there are already those
8:57dreaming of his return, and this is
8:59where it all fits. Why is L'Equipe
9:01running such a campaign now? Because in
9:03France, they still feel he is one of
9:05their own. He is the captain of Les
9:07Bleus, he is the face of their football
9:09. And some think that behind so much
9:10affection, there is something more. A
9:13message: we love you here. They don't
9:15there. I'm not saying it's a plan, but
9:18the timing is too perfect to be a
9:20coincidence. France rolls out the red
9:23carpet just when Madrid turns its back
9:25on him. Call me a conspiracy theorist,
9:28but this reeks of a return operation
9:30from a mile away. And Mbappé, with his
9:33pride wounded, has already done his
9:35math. And now, really, here comes the
9:37bombshell. Do you know what Mbappé has
9:39decided? He has decided to leave. Leave
9:42Real Madrid, and not in the summer, not
9:45at the end of the season. In January,
9:48in January, mid-season with the league
9:50in play, total silence in the
9:52presidential box according to his
9:54entourage. Mbappé has already made up
9:57his mind; he no longer sees himself in
9:59this project, he no longer sees himself
10:00with this coach, he no longer sees
10:02himself with this president. And in
10:05France, it is already being talked
10:06about openly. There are already French
10:08media outlets saying they don't rule
10:10out an exit. On Cadena SER, on El
10:12Larguero, they defined it perfectly. A
10:15delicate breeding ground. "Delicate" is
10:18an understatement, but why now? Why in
10:21January? Because Mbappé can no longer
10:23stand the whistling. They whistle at
10:25him in every stadium, every one. They
10:27whistle at him for his performance.
10:29They whistle at him for the shirt
10:31supporting Ceuta that caused such a
10:33stir. They whistle at him because many
10:35people feel he is destroying Madrid
10:37from within. And hardest of all, there
10:40are already Madrid fans who whistle at
10:42him in his own home, and in the locker
10:44room, what do they think? Here comes
10:46the heavy part. According to sources
10:48close to the squad, if Mbappe leaves in
10:51January, there won't be many tears.
10:54There are heavyweights in the locker
10:56room who are fed up with the privileges
10:58of him arriving late and no one saying
11:00anything, of him flying to Paris and no
11:02one saying anything. A player in the
11:05locker room reportedly summarized it
11:06this way to his inner circle. With him,
11:09the rules don't exist. With him, the
11:12rules don't exist. And that in a locker
11:15room is poison. Because Madrid has
11:19always been a club where no one is
11:21above the badge. Not even Cristiano was
11:23. But the big question is another one.
11:26How did it get to this point? Because
11:28this didn't start with the Ballon d'Or.
11:30The Ballon d'Or has only been the straw
11:32that broke the camel's back. The glass
11:36had been full for months, and to
11:38understand it, we have to talk about
11:40Paris, but not PSG, about his getaways,
11:42because the Madrid fan is fed up and
11:44has reasons, many reasons. Let's start
11:48with the training sessions. One day
11:50this season, training at Madrid's
11:52sports complex was at 10:30 in the
11:55morning. Do you know what time Mbappe
11:57arrived? At 11:15. 45 minutes late with
12:01the rest of the squad already working.
12:05And that's not the worst part, because
12:07the next day something even more
12:09scandalous happened. They told it on El
12:12Chiringuito. Mbappe arrived at the
12:14sports complex at 9:10. Good, you might
12:17think. He was only inside for an hour,
12:21an hour without stepping onto the pitch
12:23, and at 11:00 he got on a private jet
12:25headed for Paris just 4 days before a
12:28match. 4 days. He returned at night
12:32after 9:00 as if nothing happened, as
12:34if he were the owner of the club. And
12:37in fact, in Madrid's inner circle,
12:39there are those who say it just like
12:41that, that Mbappe has the keys to the
12:43club. Even Matías Prat, who is not
12:46exactly a man of controversy, said it
12:48with tremendous irony. He said that the
12:52El Desmarque camera spends more time at
12:53the door of the sports complex than
12:55Mbappe does inside, and he called him "
12:57Jaeta." Just like that, "Jaa." And he
13:00added that he hasn't earned the
13:02affection of the Madrid fans. When
13:05Matías Prat says that, things are
13:07really bad. By the way, if you want to
13:10find out everything before anyone else,
13:12follow me on Twitter too; I'll be
13:14telling you the bombshells in the
13:15moment there. The link is in the
13:17description, but there is more, much
13:19more. Let's go with the injury, because
13:22here things get very ugly. Mbappe was
13:25called up by Deschamps in his first
13:27list with France and he went with a
13:29niggle. And here is where the weird
13:31part begins. According to reports in
13:33various talk shows, Mbappé recovered
13:36away from the club with an outside
13:38physio. And not just any physio, one
13:41that according to those same shows,
13:43Madrid had fired. Imagine the look on
13:46the faces of the club's medical staff.
13:49And in the meantime, five or six days
13:51without showing up, five or six days
13:53where what did appear were photos,
13:55local dinners in Paris. Manolo Lama
13:58summed it up with a phrase that has
14:00gone viral. He goes to Italy with his
14:02girlfriend, to France with his
14:04girlfriend, he gets treated by an
14:05outside physio because they let him,
14:07because they let him. That is the key
14:09to everything. And it's not the first
14:11time. This is the second consecutive
14:14season that Mbappé has gone on
14:16vacation while injured. With Ester
14:19Expósito, Jorge Picón said it very
14:21clearly, that Mbappé is everywhere,
14:24except at the training ground.
14:26Everywhere, except where he needs to be
14:29. And do you know what moment hurt the
14:31Madrid supporters the most? It wasn't
14:34that, it was the Clásico, the Clásico
14:36in May. Last season, Mbappé was not
14:39with the team. Do you know where he was
14:41? Dining in Paris with Ester Expósito,
14:45and while Madrid was losing 2-0 to
14:48Barça, Mbappé uploaded a story to
14:50Instagram from a Paris restaurant with
14:53the team down on the scoreboard. The
14:57Madrid fan has not forgotten it and is
14:59not going to forget it, because a
15:01Clásico is not just another match. A
15:03Clásico is the match, the one that is
15:06remembered for years, and the star of
15:08the team, the man who had to give it
15:10his all, was in Paris with a glass in
15:12his hand. There are fans who say that
15:15something broke that day, that that day
15:17Mbappé stopped being one of their own,
15:19and he wasn't at the cup debut in
15:21Albacete either. Another absence,
15:25another photo that never came, and a
15:27few days earlier against Espanyol on
15:30May 3rd, something even more surreal
15:32happened. Mbappé landed at Barajas 12
15:36minutes before the match. 12 minutes.
15:39According to what they say in the
15:40locker room, that went down terribly.
15:42There were players who didn't forgive
15:44him for that. While they were warming
15:46up. He was on a plane. And now let's
15:48move on to the other war, because
15:50Mbappé is not only at odds with
15:52Florentino, he is also at odds with
15:54Mourinho. And this started with
15:57something that seems silly, but it's
15:58not. A bicycle. Mourinho gave an
16:02interview a few weeks ago and was asked
16:04about the rules in his locker room. And
16:08Mourinho said something very specific,
16:10that his players cannot ride a bicycle,
16:12that it is a contractual limitation,
16:14that he cares about how a player shows
16:16up to his work. Very clear, very
16:18Mourinho. And do you know what happened
16:21days later? Mbappé posted some stories
16:24riding a bike through Switzerland with
16:27Ester Expósito, just days after
16:30Mourinho had publicly forbidden it.
16:33That’s not an oversight; that’s a
16:35message, a direct message to his coach.
16:38Your rules don't apply to me. And
16:41Mourinho, who sees everything, saw it.
16:43Of course he saw it. According to those
16:46on the inside, he said nothing in
16:48public, but in the locker room, you
16:50could feel the chill, the stares, the
16:52silences, and the orders that were once
16:54given with a smile are now given with a
16:56stern face. And what’s even crazier
16:58is that he wasn't the only one. Militao
17:01also posted a photo on a bike, and
17:03Mbappé replied to him—two Madrid
17:05players defying their coach on social
17:08media. In plain view of everyone, Marca
17:11gave it a brutal headline. The
17:14rebellion of the bicycles. Carreño
17:17said it with a phrase that sums it all
17:19up. Mbappé has arrived at Madrid, but
17:23Madrid hasn't arrived at Mbappé. And
17:26Juanma Rodríguez went even further. He
17:29spoke of a retiree's bike and of
17:31detachment. Total detachment. But there
17:34is something else that no one is saying
17:36, something that explains why Mbappé
17:38says the project isn't serious. Gerard
17:40Romero told us about it. According to
17:42his sources, in the capital, in
17:44Mourinho's Madrid, there is a lot of
17:46tension, little football, and a lot of
17:48drama. And he revealed a practice that
17:51is now standard before matches.
17:55Mourinho shows his players a half-hour
17:57video of the referee, not the opponent.
18:00Half an hour on the referee who is
18:01going to officiate their game: his
18:03style, how he whistles, and how they
18:04need to pressure him depending on what
18:06he's like. Half an hour studying the
18:08referee and almost nothing on the
18:10opponent, according to those around him
18:12. Mbappé doesn't understand anything.
18:14He doesn't understand why more time is
18:16wasted on the official than on
18:17preparing for the match. To him, that
18:19isn't a club that wants to win the
18:21Champions League; that’s something
18:23else. And here the phrase returns: the
18:26project isn't serious. Now you
18:28understand why he said it. It’s not
18:31just the Ballon d'Or; it’s everything
18:32. A club that doesn't campaign for him,
18:35a coach who bans his bike, and
18:37pre-match talks that talk more about
18:39the referee than about football. For a
18:42player who comes from winning leagues
18:44in Paris playing attacking football,
18:45this is another planet. And it was
18:48evident in Villarreal: tension, nerves,
18:50Vinicius's expulsion, and very little
18:52football. And then there's the issue of
18:56leadership, because Mbappé made it
18:58clear on his own in the press
18:59conference before the Inter match—a
19:01phrase that left everyone frozen. I am
19:05not the captain here. I am not the
19:08captain here. As if to say, "Don't ask
19:10me for any responsibility." And in the
19:13locker room, they answered him. As the
19:15story goes, someone told him to his
19:17face, "Kylian, this is not Kylian
19:19Football Club." Even Nacho Peña on
19:22Real Madrid Television, the club's
19:24channel, said that Mbappé is not a
19:26leader. Juanma Rodríguez was more
19:29cruel. He is not a leader, unless a
19:31camera is recording him for a
19:32documentary. And here there is a
19:35pattern, a pattern that repeats itself.
19:37Do you know how many coaches have had
19:40problems with Mbappé at Madrid? Xabi
19:43Alonso, who left the bench with the
19:45locker room broken. Arbeloa, whom, as
19:48it was told, Mbappé went so far as to
19:50call a liar, and before that in Paris,
19:52Luis Enrique and the sporting director
19:55Leonardo, who said exactly the same
19:57thing that they are saying now in
19:59Madrid, always the same ending, always.
20:02Now Mourinho will be next, or Mbappé
20:05will leave first; I think you already
20:08know. Because Mourinho is not Xabi
20:10Alonso. Mourinho does not keep quiet.
20:13Mourinho does not kneel before anyone.
20:16Mourinho already had wars with Casillas
20:19, with Sergio Ramos, with Pepe, with
20:22the heavyweights of that Madrid. And he
20:25never backed down, never. According to
20:28sources close to the coaching staff,
20:30Mourinho is driven crazy by the
20:31getaways to Paris and he does not
20:33intend to treat Mbappé any differently
20:35than the rest. If he arrives late, he's
20:38told; if he doesn't perform, he's
20:39benched. And Mbappé is not used to
20:42that. In Paris, he was the one in
20:46charge, and at Madrid until now, as
20:48well—two giant egos in the same
20:50locker room. One of the two is one too
20:53many. And seeing how everything is, it
20:55seems that the one who is one too many
20:57is Mbappé. But let's get to what
20:59really hurts the Madridista, the
21:01numbers. Because if Mbappé were
21:05scoring goals, all of this would be
21:06forgiven, but he is not scoring them.
21:0944 shots this season. Do you know how
21:12many goals? Seven. Seven goals in 44
21:16shots. Now compare that with Raphinha.
21:2025 shots, 12 goals—less than half the
21:22shots, almost double the goals. And we
21:26aren't talking about just any player,
21:29we are talking about Raphinha, from
21:31Barça, a player whom many in Madrid
21:33looked down upon. Today, Raphinha is
21:36doing more damage than Mbappé with
21:38half the opportunities. And that is
21:42what stings the most for the Madridista
21:44: that Barça has what Madrid paid for
21:45and doesn't have. And in the last match
21:49, also the image that sums it all up.
21:51Mbappé took his boot off in the middle
21:54of the game to waste time, and the
21:56referee gave him a yellow card. A 180
21:59million star taking off his boot to
22:02waste time. If that's where Madrid is,
22:05even those who have spent their whole
22:07lives defending Madrid are jumping ship
22:09. Josep Pedrerol delivered an editorial
22:12that has gone viral. He said that the
22:15Madrid fanbase is starting to fall out
22:17of love with Mbappé, that they waited
22:197 years, forgave him for renewing with
22:21PSG when he already had a deal with
22:23Madrid, and then he dropped the line
22:25that hurts the most. In 2 years, Madrid
22:28hasn't won anything with him. PSG has
22:31won everything. Total silence in the
22:33studio. Because that is exactly what
22:36the stands are thinking. You just have
22:38to go to any official Real Madrid post
22:40and read the comments. Send him to
22:43train with Chelsea in January. Get him
22:46out now. And there is a tweet that has
22:48gone viral among Madrid fans. It read:
22:51"I had never seen so many Madrid fans
22:54against a player from their own squad.
22:57Never. In the club's modern history,
23:00Gareth Bale, who ended up playing golf
23:02while Madrid suffered; Eden Hazard, who
23:04arrived overweight and spent years in
23:06the infirmary. There was criticism for
23:09them, yes, but nothing like this. With
23:12Mbappé it's different because they
23:15waited 7 years for him, because he was
23:17the great dream of the Madrid fanbase.
23:20And when the dream turns into
23:22disappointment, the anger is twice as
23:24strong. And Manolo Lama hit the nail on
23:26the head with a phrase that is pure
23:28dynamite: let them whistle at Mbappé
23:30so they don't whistle at Florentino.
23:32Think about it carefully, because that
23:34is the key. And Florentino, why doesn't
23:37he lift a finger for his star? Why
23:39doesn't he campaign for him? I'm going
23:41to tell you what I think, and you won't
23:43like it if you're a Madrid fan, because
23:44perhaps it suits Florentino for him to
23:46leave. While the stands whistle at
23:48Mbappé, they aren't whistling at the
23:50board. While everyone talks about
23:53Mbappé's getaways, no one talks about
23:54the squad that Florentino has built.
23:57Mbappé is the perfect shield, and if
24:00he leaves in January, Florentino has
24:02someone to blame for everything. Round,
24:05absolutely round. And there is another
24:08detail. If Mbappé leaves in January,
24:10Madrid gets rid of one of the highest
24:12salaries in the world. Florentino
24:15recovers money, recovers room to
24:17maneuver, and can present it as not
24:19being his fault; he wanted to leave.
24:22That would be the official line. And
24:24the Madrid fan, fed up with the
24:26getaways, would even applaud it. But
24:30don't be fooled, the signing of Mbappé
24:32was Florentino's great bet, his major
24:34operation, 7 years chasing him. And if
24:38he leaves through the back door in
24:40January, that is also a failure of the
24:42president, a failure he will try to
24:44cover up at all costs. That is why he
24:46isn't campaigning for him, that is why
24:48he is letting him burn out on his own.
24:50But watch out, because the most
24:51important part is still to come. Do you
24:53remember what I told you at the
24:55beginning about Messi? On October 26th
24:57at the London Palladium in London, the
24:59Ballon d'Or will be awarded, and the
25:01person in charge of presenting it is
25:03Lionel Messi. And here comes the big
25:05question: why is Messi going? Messi
25:08doesn't go just anywhere. Messi doesn't
25:11move out of obligation. If he is going
25:13to London, there is a reason. And I
25:16only see two scenarios, only two.
25:18Scenario number one: Messi is going to
25:21hand it to his former teammate, to
25:23Mbappé, the one he had beside him at
25:25PSG, the one he beat in that World Cup
25:28final in Qatar. The same Mbappé to
25:30whom Florentino has denied a campaign.
25:33Imagine the photo. Messi giving the
25:35Ballon d'Or to Mbappé. And Florentino
25:38in Madrid watching it on TV would be
25:40the greatest possible humiliation for
25:42the Bernabéu executive box. Mbappé
25:44winning the Ballon d'Or thanks to
25:47France, not thanks to Madrid. And after
25:49that, who is going to keep him there in
25:51January? But there is a scenario number
25:54two, and that is the one that would
25:56make many of us culés cry. Messi is
25:58going to London for Lamine, for the
26:00heir, for the new number 10 of Barça,
26:02for the kid from La Masia. Do you
26:04remember that photo from 2007? The
26:07UNICEF one, Messi with a baby in his
26:09arms. That baby was Lamine. 19 years
26:12later, that same Messi would be handing
26:14the Ballon d'Or to that same kid.
26:17L'Équipe's poll leaves him off the
26:19podium, but the poll is voted on by the
26:21public. The Ballon d'Or is voted on by
26:24journalists from all over the world,
26:26and polls are sometimes just smoke.
26:28Lamine has something that Mbappé does
26:30not. He has titles. He has a World Cup
26:34won with Spain this summer, a world
26:36champion at 19, while Mbappé fell in
26:39the semifinals against Spain. Lamine
26:43ended up lifting the cup in New Jersey,
26:46and the journalists who vote know it.
26:49Those who vote look at titles, and in
26:51terms of titles, there is no comparison
26:53. Imagine Mbappé's face if, after all
26:56of L'Équipe's campaign, the one who
26:58goes up to the stage is Lamine and
27:00Messi hands it to him. Think about it.
27:04Messi wouldn't miss that moment for
27:06anything in the world. And if it is the
27:08second scenario, Mbappé loses his last
27:11reason to stay at Madrid. No campaign,
27:14no affection from the stands, no good
27:16relationship with Mourinho. And without
27:18the Ballon d'Or, he would have nothing
27:20left. And look at how cruel fate would
27:23be. Mbappé leaves PSG to win the
27:25Ballon d'Or at Madrid and PSG wins
27:28everything without him. Mbappé is left
27:31out of the World Cup. In the semifinals
27:34, Lamine wins it, and in the end, Messi
27:36hands the Ballon d'Or to a kid from
27:38Barça. Don't tell me that wouldn't be
27:41the perfect script. As a Culé, I'm not
27:43going to deny it. I would sign up for
27:45that scenario right now. So, answering
27:48the question from the beginning, why
27:50has Mbappé lashed out at Florentino?
27:53Because France campaigns for him and
27:55Madrid doesn't. Because a Paris
27:57newspaper loves him more than his own
27:59club. Because he feels alone. Because
28:02the crowd whistles at him. Because the
28:04coach even forbids his bicycle kicks
28:06and because, according to his circle,
28:08he has already made his decision.
28:10January, now it's your turn. I want to
28:13read you in the comments. First
28:15question, is Mbappé right to leave
28:17Madrid in January, or does he have to
28:19hold on and prove himself on the field?
28:23Second question, is Mbappé right to
28:24lash out at Florentino for not
28:26campaigning for him, or does he need to
28:28win something first? And third question
28:32, and this one is for all Culés,
28:33Madridistas, and Argentinians. Who does
28:37Messi hand the Ballon d'Or to? To
28:39Lamine or to Mbappé? I'll read all of
28:41you. Everyone, if you liked the video,
28:45hit like, it helps us a lot. And if you

28:50turn on notifications, because this has

28:56the Barça match in Turkey. Yeah.
