A "no" that did not pass.
Several Real Madrid supporters insulted Kylian Mbappé ahead of the Champions League final between the Spanish champions and English Liverpool on Saturday evening (9 p.m.) at the Stade de France.
Several Merengue fans sang “Mbappé, hijo de p…” (Editor’s note: “Mbappé, son of p…”) in the fan-zone where they had an appointment in Saint-Denis.
In Madrid, other fans sang similar insulting chants as several videos posted on social media showed.
Some have even transposed their resentment onto jerseys.
This is the case of a Real Madrid supporter, immortalized at the end of the morning on Place du Trocadéro, who wore a Madrid jersey with the name of the world champion striker, accompanied by a middle finger.
Other Madrid supporters also sported a sign showing the middle finger, along with a vulgar injunction.

Some Real Madrid supporters did more irony.
One of them came next to the Trocadero with a sign that read "Mbappé, you will regret it".
Some lodgers have flocked a Parisian jersey with the inscription "Mbappé, zero Champions League".
Another enjoins him, still on a poster referring to the 13 C1s won by Real Madrid before this final, to "stay in Paris".
“I can understand the disappointment.
I thank them.
All the "Madridistas" wanted to welcome me as one of their own, explained the 23-year-old prodigy in an interview given to several media on Monday, including Le Parisien Today in France.
I am only grateful to them, for all the love they gave me.
I did not say no to Real Madrid.
I said yes to France and to a new PSG project.
I had the call of the homeland and the capital.
It was too early to leave for free.
“An explanation that obviously did not find an echo among the disappointed.
