Caught on Camera: Sevilla Player Denied as Mbappé Sticks to His Word
Kylian Mbappé found himself in the spotlight once again—this time off the ball, after refusing to swap shirts with Sevilla’s Mateo Mejía following Real Madrid’s 2–0 away victory.
The Moment:
After the final whistle, Mejía approached Mbappé in search of a souvenir.
To his surprise, Mbappé politely declined—a moment caught on camera and quickly spread online.
The Reason:
Not arrogance, but honour: Mbappé had already promised his shirt to two others and simply didn’t have an extra left for Mejía.
This wasn’t about disrespect—it was a matter of prior commitment and limited shirts available on matchday.
Fan Reactions:
Some questioned why Mbappé would promise two shirts with only one on him.
Others pointed out that players often have spare kits in the dressing room, but sometimes immediate swaps aren’t logistically possible.
Bigger Picture:
Mbappé continues to draw attention for everything he does—from goal celebrations to shirt swaps. His professionalism remains evident, with no signs of disregard toward fellow players.
One thing is certain: where Mbappé
moves, the headlines follow.
