Mbappe on Ronaldo vs Messi debate
In one of the posts, the user insulted Lionel Messi, calling the 2022 World Cup winner a midget.
"Cristiano Ronaldo is the greatest football player of all time. This midget is NOT my GOAT."
Mbappe grew up idolizing Ronaldo but has since changed his stance after playing with Messi for two years at Paris Sant-Germain.
Mbappe teases Manchester United transfer
The hacker also claimed Manchester is Red, saying he will join the Red Devils in 2028 once his contract at Real Madrid ends. There were also trolls for Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur.
Reactions to the post:
Here are some of the responses to the post.
@Leverkusentime:
"One of the biggest football account getting hacked is crazy."
@curtis_hog:
"Idc if he was hacked this tweet is going to serve me very well."
@Big_5ve:
"Only a Manchester United fan will do something crazy like this."
@Homiebishop:
"But he’s right about Ronaldo."
@planet_mufc:
"Kylian knows the truth, even when hacked."
@UTDKeanoo:
"Bro is making a thread at 4 am."
@neelam_meena_78:
"Cristiano Ronaldo is a living GOAT."
@MbappeRmfc9:
"The person who hacked it is Man utd fans no one can tell me otherwise."
In another post, the user made political comments on the ongoing war in Israel and Palestine. The user condemned the latter using anti-semitic and expletive words.
The hacker also ran a crypto promotion, asking followers to join a campaign he had. Lookonchain reports that someone opened a new meme coin wallet and spent over one million USD in a #Mbappe account. He lost the money in one hour.
At the time of writing, the Real Madrid forward had seemingly reclaimed the account, and all the controversial posts had been removed.
Has Mbappe scored in La Liga yet?
The tweets come when Mbappe struggles to get going in La Liga. The 2018 World Cup winner instantly impacted Los Blancos on his debut in the UEFA Super Cup.
He has, however, drawn blanks in his first two La Liga games. Carlo Ancelotti's side drew against Mallorca before beating Valladolid 3-0.
Mbappe demands payment from PSG
Briefly News has also reported that Mbappe has sued PSG over unpaid wages during his last season in the French capital.
Reports indicate that the new Real Madrid forward wants €55M owed to him as payment for the previous three months of his contract.
Mbappe has reportedly taken the case to UEFA, which, if found guilty, could potentially result in PSG's ban from the Champions League.
