Real Madrid Defeats Real Oviedo 2-0 Amidst Fan Unrest

Madrid. Real Madrid defeated Real Oviedo 2-0, but the atmosphere at the Santiago Bernabeu was tense.

When star forward Kylian Mbappé, returning from injury, entered the field in the 69th minute, his own club's supporters booed him.

The 27-year-old Mbappé, who has scored 41 goals in 41 games across all competitions this season, has been heavily criticized recently for his commitment to the club. An online petition titled 'Mbappé Out' has garnered millions of signatures.

This season has been trophyless for Real, leading to fan dissatisfaction. After losing to arch-rivals Barcelona on Sunday, Barcelona became league champions, further angering Madrid fans.

Club president Florentino Pérez had strongly criticized those trying to weaken the club in a explosive press conference this week. However, during the match, supporters displayed a banner reading 'Florentino Go Now', which was removed by security personnel.

Criticism of Mbappé intensified when photos surfaced of him on a yacht in Sardinia while he was injured and resting. At the same time, Real Madrid was playing Espanyol.

Mbappé, who laughed off the booing, told reporters after the match, 'Boos... that's life, you can't change people's minds when they are angry.'

He added, 'This is part of the life of a Real Madrid player and a famous player like me. Footballers don't always have to understand everything, they have to accept it and move on to change the situation.'

Against Oviedo, Gonzalo García scored near the end of the first half to give Madrid the lead, and Jude Bellingham added the second goal towards the end of the game.
