The epilogue of the Spanish Super Cup was not at all memorable for Kylian Mbappé. The Real Madrid striker, defeated 3-2 by Barcelona, became the protagonist of an unsportsmanlike gesture, inviting his teammates not to honor their opponents for the victory.
A scene that spoiled the "third part" of the final and gave a bad image to the entire defeated team, which had just received homage from the winners. Before Barcelona climbed the podium to lift the trophy, the Blaugrana players lined up in two rows to "pass" Real during the medals. But when it was all over, the collision occurred.

Mbappé's gesture: asks his teammates not to "pass"
There was no reciprocity: Real Madrid did not make any "pasillo" for the champions. The cameras showed an angry Mbappé who with obvious gestures asked his teammates to leave the podium. Asensio was ready to pay homage, but the Frenchman called him out loudly.
An ugly gesture that caused a lot of controversy. Mbappé then left first towards the locker room, frustrated also because he had only played a few minutes, still not fully recovered from his knee problem.
