Kylian Mbappé's escapade to Sweden last Thursday could leave its mark. The Frenchman made a brief stopover in the Scandinavian country to enjoy his free time while he was out of the French team's training camp. Enough to provoke the ire of Les Bleus supporters, already annoyed to have seen him play with Real Madrid a few days earlier. Here it is now that a rape investigation has been opened into the hotel where the attacker was staying with his friends after their nightclubbing trip. The hotel in question was raided by Swedish police after a complaint was filed. The authorities have not indicated if the captain of the Blues was involved, according to the Swedish daily Aftonbladet, or if he was in the wrong place at the wrong time.

For the moment, there is no information at this stage on the identity of the suspect(s). The prosecutor in charge of the investigation did not wish to make any comment.

A night that leaves a mark

While Mbappé posted a message of support to his teammates before the France Israel kick-off on Thursday, October 10 (“Good game”), the Frenchman was therefore in Sweden and not resting or getting treatment. The newspaper Aftonbladet published several photos of Mbappé, masked and wearing a cap, in the streets of the Swedish capital, accompanied by close friends, including Nordi Mukiele, his former PSG teammate. Mbappé reportedly went to the restaurant “Chez Jolie”, a luxury establishment specializing in French cuisine. Then the small group was photographed boarding a black van to head to the V***** nightclub in the Stureplan district. According to some witnesses on the scene, the player had privatized a space.

Questioned on the subject, Didier Deschamps indicated that there was no controversy to be found in this evening. “What a subject on Mbappé” ? He's not here, eh! From a regulatory point of view, he does purely what he wants, from a private point of view too. Everyone will have their own perception. Maybe Aurélien (Tchouaméni) is aware of his club's program and that of Mbappé and knows if he is free to him to go… That doesn't mean he didn't watch the match, didn't send messages, “to me too”, assured the coach of the Blues.
