People on social networks have not spared the criticism of the president of France, Emmanuel Macron, starting from his behavior towards the young football star, Kylian Mbappé.
The fans strongly criticize Macron for the fact that he repeatedly tried to console the hero of France, who scored three spectacular goals and became the second footballer in the history of the World Cup to achieve a hat-trick in the final (score 3 goals). .
Mbappé really did not want to be touched at all by Macron, it was so cringe. Also never had a person of color on the top of the head what are you doing? https://t.co/7PLVBjwH96

"Macron is desperate for a reaction from Mbappé, but in three key attempts, the striker gives him no eye contact and no photo opportunities," someone wrote.

Indeed, the situation was strange and awkward. Macron repeatedly tried to console Mbappé, but the latter seems dismissive, almost annoyed by his presence and does not look him in the eye.

"I am in shock. He treated her like a nobody in front of the whole world," it reads somewhere.
People have different opinions about the behavior of the 23-year-old. "Mbappé's mother is Muslim and he grew up in a Muslim community. Macron is known as an Islamophobe by many people in France,” someone says.
Another is of the opinion that Macron was one of those who put pressure on Mbappé to sign a new contract with Paris Saint-Germain. "It doesn't matter what, from a football perspective he should have gone to Real Madrid," he adds.
On the other hand, there are also people who think that Mbappé was just a witness. "he is 23 years old, he gave his best, he did his best and he lost again. what do you expect from him? Leave him alone,” wrote one person on Twitter.
