A REAL MADRID fan vowed to stop supporting Kylian Mbappe as they posted a video of the Frenchman’s shirt in flames.
Mbappe, 25, completed a long-awaited free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain to the Spanish capital in the summer.

But the forward has so far failed to impress many of his new club’s supporters.
Last night his woes intensified as he saw a crucial penalty saved by Liverpool goalkeeper Caoimhin Kelleher.
The wasted spot kick came at 1-0, with Real Madrid going on to lose 2-0 at Anfield.
After the game, a social media user declared that they’d had enough.
The Real Madrid fan uploaded a video of an Mbappe No9 shirt in flames.
They dramatically captioned it: “My hopes and support for Kylian Mbappe is over.
“I’ll assume anyone supporting him has IQ of that of a house fly.”
Mbappe has scored seven goals in 12 LaLiga appearances so far this season.

Last night, former Real Madrid and Liverpool star Steve McManaman criticised Mbappe.
Appearing on TNT Sports, he said: “We haven’t seen the best of Mbappe tonight.
“They needed Mbappe tonight and he flattered to deceive. The Madrid press will be ruthless because he didn’t deliver again when he needed to.
“Madrid are going through a rough patch and the big players are not performing. All the baggage around Mbappe magnifies it.
“This year they are really, really struggling.”
Real Madrid are second in LaLiga, four points behind Barcelona with a game in hand.
In the Champions League they occupy 24th place in the league table, the final spot for a place in the play-offs.
But boss Carlo Ancelotti has come under-fire, particularly since his side’s 4-0 home defeat to Barcelona last month.
Amid criticism of Mbappe, Jude Bellingham last night jumped to the defence of his team-mate.
He said: “Kylian is a wonderful player but the pressure is humongous.
“The penalty is not why we lost the game. Kylian can keep his head high and I know for sure he will produce many more big moments for this club.”
