Mbappé Decries Football Culture, Pursues €55 Million Claim Against PSG

His L’Equipe remarks center on mental‑health stigma alongside a €55 million labor case against PSG.

Overview

  • The France captain said elite athletes are discouraged from showing vulnerability and that speaking openly about mental health still risks judgment.
  • He said his passion keeps him going in a sport that would otherwise “disgust” him and added that “the more money you have, the more problems you have.”
  • Mbappé confirmed he is seeking about €55 million in unpaid salary and bonuses from PSG under labor law after dropping a separate criminal complaint in July.
  • PSG have lodged a counter‑claim reported at €98 million, while Mbappé emphasized he bears no ill will toward former teammates at the club.
  • The Real Madrid forward reached 52 goals for France in a 2-1 win over Iceland to move past Thierry Henry into second on the nation’s all‑time list, and he said he would not advise a child of his to enter football.
