In a stunning display of fan frustration, an online petition calling for Kylian Mbappé to leave Real Madrid has skyrocketed over 30 million signatures, making it one of the most-signed petitions in history.
Explosive Growth of the Mbappé Petition
The “Mbappé Out” petition, hosted on a simple platform, has gone massively viral among Real Madrid supporters (Madridistas). Launched amid growing discontent with the French superstar’s performances and off-field issues, it has gathered signatures at an unprecedented pace.
- Current tally: Approaching or exceeding 30 million signatures (as of May 2026 reports).
- This figure dwarfs many historic campaigns in the Guinness World Records for most signatures on a petition.
- For context, it has far surpassed typical major global petitions and is being compared to landmark efforts like Jubilee 2000.
Why Real Madrid Fans Are Calling for Mbappé to Leave
The petition, hosted on a simple dedicated site, demands the departure of Kylian Mbappé from Real Madrid. Key frustrations among fans include:
- Real Madrid’s trophyless season despite high expectations after Mbappé’s arrival.
- The French superstar’s recent vacation in Sardinia, Italy, with girlfriend Ester Expósito while recovering from a muscular injury.
- Perceived lack of commitment amid the club’s struggles.
Many supporters view the timing of the trip as poor, especially with the team facing challenges. Club interim boss Álvaro Arbeloa defended Mbappé’s right to personal time, noting the recovery was medically approved, but the backlash has been intense.
