Mbappé Booed at Bernabéu as Real Madrid Club De Fútbol Beat Oviedo
Mbappé was booed by the Bernabéu when he went out to warm up and again on his first touches in real madrid club de fútbol’s match against Oviedo. The reaction came on a night with little at stake in the standings, but it still split the crowd’s attention between a star forward, the refereeing team and a few returning Madrid players.
Bernabéu Turns on Mbappé
The criticism started as soon as Mbappé appeared to warm up. It grew louder when he touched the ball for the first time, with the stadium’s frustration aimed at what supporters had seen from him off the field in recent weeks while he was injured.
That reception landed despite his numbers. Mbappé is the Pichichi of La Liga, the current European Golden Boot winner, and Real Madrid’s top scorer in the two seasons he has worn white.
The contrast was sharper because the crowd did not treat every returning or arriving name the same way. Cazorla drew a unanimous ovation when he entered the pitch, while Arbeloa said before the match he would give minutes to players who are working well day to day and have not had many.
De Burgos Bengoetxea in the Crossfire
The biggest boos of the night went to the refereeing team led by De Burgos Bengoetxea. Figueroa Vázquez, the VAR official, was also heavily booed, and Tchouaméni received some of the crowd’s criticism as well.
Vinicius drew more boos than Tchouaméni. The evening’s tone fit the Bernabéu’s long habit of turning on high-profile figures when standards slip, whether the target is a forward, a midfielder or the officials in the middle of the match.
Mbappé’s reception also came on a day when Florentino Pérez said hours earlier that he would be implacable with the “caso Negreira” and everything it has implied in recent years. The presidential election candidacy period opened that morning, adding another layer to a day already carrying noise around the club.
Carvajal Returns at Chamartín
Carvajal came back for a few minutes after his foot injury and was applauded by the crowd. The defender could have played his penultimate night at Chamartín as captain, a detail that gave the home support a different reason to stand and clap.
Camavinga also started after it became known that he is out of France’s list for the World Cup, while Mbappé and Tchouaméni are on that list. Alaba, Brahim, Gonzalo and Mastantuono were in the starting eleven, and Mastantuono was not a starter in La Liga since February.
For Mbappé, the message from the stands was blunt: the goals are there, but the Bernabéu is still judging everything around them. For Real Madrid, the night mixed whistles, applause and a return from injury in a match that offered little in the table but plenty in the atmosphere.
