Kylian Mbappé Continues Training Amid Legal Turmoil
Kylian Mbappé, the prominent French striker, is currently preparing for an upcoming match with Real Madrid against Celta Vigo, scheduled for Saturday. Despite being embroiled in a serious legal matter concerning allegations of
rape and sexual assault
in Sweden, he was seen actively participating in training at the Valdebebas training center. On Wednesday, he shared a video on Instagram showcasing his skills during practice, where he was seen scoring multiple goals. Underneath the video, he wrote, "we continue to work. Hala Madrid!" signaling his determination and focus on the game ahead.
The legal situation surrounding Mbappé began to unfold following his recent trip to Stockholm, where he reportedly became the target of accusations. His lawyer, Marie-Alix Canu-Bernard, spoke out, asserting that Mbappé is unaware of the identity of the complainant and is confused by the media coverage surrounding the allegations. She emphasized that they will be filing a complaint for malicious denunciation in response to the claims.
Legal Representation and Public Perception
Marie-Alix Canu-Bernard, a seasoned criminal lawyer with extensive experience, has taken on Mbappé's case. She has represented various high-profile clients and aims to clear the player's name amid the ongoing investigation. According to reports, the investigation is being conducted with a degree of confidentiality, as stated by the plaintiff's lawyer, Petra Eklund.
Despite the serious nature of the allegations, Mbappé's presence on the training field appears unaffected. His performance during training has been described as sharp and focused, as he engaged in double sessions that included gym work and collective exercises with teammates. However, the situation has affected public perception, with recent polls indicating a decline in his favorability among fans, reflecting a broader concern about the impact of the allegations on his career and reputation.
