Mbappé: We know what harm dictators have caused throughout history

The Real Madrid star reflected on history.

France and Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappé said that he is amused by the fact that people call him a dictator, Ballon d'Or reports on social media.

“On the one hand, it’s amusing, since some people also see it as harmless fun. On the other hand, it’s not that funny, because we know what harm such people have caused throughout history,” Mbappé said.

Mbappé scored two goals and provided an assist in the third-place match at the 2026 FIFA World Cup against England. Mbappé now has 22 goals at the World Cup. He overtook Lionel Messi (21) to become the top scorer in the history of the FIFA World Cup.

In addition, the French forward leads the 2026 World Cup scoring race. The 27-year-old footballer now has 10 goals and four assists at the current World Cup.
