Real Madrid might have won their 14th Champions League title on Saturday night but that doesn't mean their fans have forgotten all about Kylian Mbappe.
Last week Real's focus should have been on their upcoming final with Liverpool but plenty of the attention went instead on Mbappe, as he decided to remain in his home city and continue playing for PSG.
That decision didn't go down well in Spain at all. Obviously Real were annoyed but even the president of La Liga called it an 'insult to football,' something Gary Neville was not impressed by.

The French forward was brought up a couple of times in the build up to Saturday's game in Paris but with Carlo Ancelotti's side upsetting the odds to beat Liverpool it would surely all be forgotten for a moment.
However, on Sunday, that proved not to be the case, as Real players paraded the trophy through the streets of the Spanish capital fans could be heard chanting "Kylian Mbappe, son of a b***h."
It's genuinely impressive how the 23-year-old seems to have entire football club, its fanbase and the league they play in fuming about his decision to play for another team.

"Mbappé really rattled a whole fan base," one fan commented.
"Mbappe is massive. This club just won the Ucl and the league and all their fans are still obsessed with Mbappe," someone with a PSG profile picture added.
"All jokes aside, you have to feel bad for these people. Your team won the highest honour and you’re too busy crying to enjoy it," a third said.
Another opined, "The reaction from Madrid fans regarding Mbappe not joining them is further proof he made the right decision," with many also pointing out that he can't join them in the future.

Many were suggesting Barcelona as a possible future destination for the World Cup winner, although seeing as he's previously spoken to Liverpool that could be his preference, or maybe he'll stay in Paris forever.
Some Real fans were trying to defend the fact they were too preoccupied with Mbappe last night by pointing out that PSG fans chanted "puta Madrid" during their final game of the season.
That came just after the announcement that Mbappe was staying at the Parc des Princes for another three years, rather than move to the Bernabeu.

In typical fashion, the forward hit a hat-trick that night against Metz, really putting an exclamation mark on his decision.
It wasn't just in the streets of Madrid on Sunday night that fans chanted about the player that may now never sign for them, as it carried on inside the stadium too.
Imagine the reception he'll get next time Real Madrid and PSG get drawn together in the Champions League, it could be a very fun evening.
