Spanish Football League: Mbappé returns with a goal

After his injury and legal troubles, Kylian Mbappé returned to the football stage with a goal. The 25-year-old star striker scored the 1-0 goal in the 20th minute of his club Real Madrid’s 2-1 (1-0) win in the Spanish football championship at Celta Vigo. After the interim equalizer by Williot Swendberg (51st), Vinicius Junior ensured success in the 66th minute. As a result, Real drew level on points with leaders FC Barcelona ahead of the Champions League duel on Tuesday (9 p.m.) against Borussia Dortmund.

Due to a foot injury, the 2018 world champion missed France’s most recent Nations League games in Brussels against Belgium (2:1) and in Budapest against Israel (4:1). Instead he traveled privately to Sweden. The selection captain was then confronted with media reports about investigations into a rape in Sweden, which he defended himself against. “He knows that he has absolutely nothing to blame himself for,” his lawyer Marie-Alix Canu-Bernard told broadcaster TF1.

There are allegations of rape

“Kylian is undeterred. He knows what he has done and, above all, what he has not done. “He is very calm,” Canu-Bernard told the newspaper Le Parisien. You will file a complaint for defamation or alleging an imaginary crime.

When asked by the German Press Agency, the Stockholm police neither wanted to confirm nor deny the case. Referring to media reports on the alleged rape, the responsible public prosecutor Marina Chirakova said that a rape report had been received by the police. The incident took place in a hotel in the center of Stockholm. When asked by the dpa, the public prosecutor’s office did not want to say which person the complaint was directed against.
