Kylian Mbappé urged Real Madrid fans to direct criticism at the entire team, not individuals like Vinícius Júnior and Jude Bellingham, after both were whistled during their 2-0 LaLiga win over Levante. The crowd’s frustration follows a tough week that included a Supercopa final loss and Copa del Rey elimination.

Mbappé emphasized unity, stating the fault lies with the squad as a whole. He defended his teammates, calling Bellingham "one of the best players in the world" and insisting Vinícius isn’t to blame for the team’s struggles. New coach Álvaro Arbeloa also voiced support for the Brazilian winger.

The forward, whose goals have kept Madrid near the top of the table, acknowledged fan anger but pleaded for collective accountability. He stressed the need to protect the dressing room from outside noise and focus on results, starting with their upcoming Champions League clash against AS Monaco.
