‘We don’t neglect the legend’: Mbappe’s crazy tweet statistics

16 hours after Kylian Mbappé hit send, his tweet has already been read more than 67 million times. While Noel Le Graet has “nothing to shake” over potential links between Zinedine Zidane and the Brazilian selection, the PSG striker was quick to criticize the departure of the FFF president. “Zidane is France, we don’t treat the legend with such disrespect…,” Bondinois tweeted at 8:00 pm on Sunday evening.

Since then, the post has been retweeted (shared) almost 190,000 times and received 875,000 likes. If the message sent by the Blues’ star sparked a wave of protests against the NLG, the photo posted after the Blues’ defeat in the World Cup final has yet to go viral. “We will be back,” wrote the French striker after losing to Argentina. This tweet got 286,000 retweets and over 2 million likes.

On the other hand, his pro-Zidan post has already become the second most viral on his Twitter account, according to RT. Written in English and viewed in the same proportions, its tribute to Pele was re-shared 183,000 times and liked 2.3 million times.

A photo of him kissing the 2018 World Cup has been banned from the podium, highlighting the importance of the Parisian’s reaction to Le Graet’s slip. Mbappé had already corrected the FFF president last June, claiming that the 81-year-old Breton “thought there was no racism” after he missed a goal in the Euro playoffs. This post has been retweeted “only” 7,000 times.
