NEW DELHI: football Football star Kylian Mbappe’s X-account was hacked in the early hours of Thursday morning while he was in Spain, leading to a flood of provocative posts.
The hacked account promoted the cryptocurrency “$MBAPPE”, which was reportedly sold 90,000 times, and posted controversial messages about Manchester United, Manchester City, Tottenham and the rivalry between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.
The posts were quickly noticed by users and sparked great controversy within the football community.
One of the tweets read “Manchester is red,” and another praised a United fan’s account, @UTDTrey, as “the best account on ft (Football Twitter).”
When a user asked if Mbappe would prefer to move to London, the hacked account replied: “London sucks, dude.”
One tweet favored Cristiano Ronaldo over Lionel Messi, calling Ronaldo “the greatest soccer player of all time” and using a derogatory term as an insult to Messi, who has won the Ballon d’Or eight times.
The tweets have since been deleted, but they fuelled the ongoing debates surrounding the rivalry between Ronaldo and Messi, especially as Mbappe is now part of real Madrid.
The 25-year-old previously announced his eagerly awaited La Liga Debut for Real Madrid, which ended in frustration as the reigning champions could only manage a 1-1 draw against Mallorca on the first matchday of the new season.
The French superstar, who made a sensational move from Paris Saint-Germain in the summer, flashed his brilliance but was unable to win in his first league game in Spain.
