Real Madrid fans turn on Ester Expósito over fears she could be a bad influence on Kylian Mbappé

S ince France lost to Spain at the 2026 World Cup, attention has turned to what Ester Expósito could be influencing in Kylian Mbappé’s performances. Although the criticism aimed at the actress has been unfair, it has not stopped, and now a video has given those comments another boost.

Expósito was out on the streets at night when she was caught on camera smoking a cigarette. The moment did not just upset some Real Madrid fans; they gave it enough importance to question the actress, arguing that this is the type of behavior that should not exist when you are dating a professional athlete .

Others believe the criticism has gone too far

For many others, the comments were blown out of proportion, since her decision to smoke has nothing to do with how Mbappé plays or how he performs. She is the one smoking, not him, and many fans said it was exaggerated to judge her over the moment or use it as an excuse to question the Frenchman’s performance .

In recent matches, Mbappé has continued to score goals for Real Madrid and even dedicated one to Expósito while she was in the stands , quickly putting another hole in that theory.

The video has added more fuel to the criticism surrounding the actress

Expósito has gained several enemies among the club’s fans, and since her relationship with Mbappé became officia l, she has faced criticism from supporters who, for some reason, have struggled to accept her as part of the French star’s life.
