Laporta Condemns Mbappé for Post-Final Snub After Barcelona’s Supercopa Win

The Barcelona president labeled the gesture disrespectful, citing already strained relations between the clubs.

Overview

  • Barcelona beat Real Madrid 3-2 in Jeddah to retain the Supercopa de España title.
  • Post-match footage showed Kylian Mbappé urging Real Madrid teammates to leave the pitch, discouraging a customary guard of honour during the medal presentation.
  • Joan Laporta told RAC-1 he was surprised by Mbappé’s conduct and stressed the need for generosity and respect in victory and defeat.
  • Laporta noted he did not witness the moment live and said the reaction reflected Real Madrid’s frustration, adding that institutional ties between the clubs are already strained.
  • Reports say Mbappé played through recent knee issues, coming on as a late substitute and failing to influence the result, and no formal disciplinary response from Real Madrid was reported.
