The Frenchman also faced criticism for his subpar performance in RealMadrid's 3-1 defeat to AC Milan in the Champions League on Tuesday.

Per Tribuna, fans took to social media to brand the former PSG star a “fraud,” criticising his poor form in the white shirt.

Screenshots of these reactions have flooded X, with Madridistas jokingly flagging his account for "pretending to be a footballer."

And they have their reasons.

While eight goals in 15 games may look respectable, in El Clásico alone, Mbappé managed just as many offsides. It was tough to watch – as if he’d forgotten the offside rule entirely.
