Omar Momani cartoons: Massimiliano Allegri

Rumors have been spreading quickly in recent days… and they’re raising big questions about what’s really happening inside Real Madrid.

Could Kylian Mbappé already have a say in major decisions at the club?

In this animated take, the idea is pushed to the extreme. Mbappé is imagined as a “dictator” sitting on a throne, while Florentino Pérez presents him with different coaching options. One by one, they are rejected… until a familiar name appears: Didier Deschamps.

Suddenly, the decision is made.

Of course, this is all satire — a playful exaggeration of the rumors linking Deschamps to Real Madrid and the idea that Mbappé could influence the club’s future. But like all good football memes, it reflects a deeper question fans are starting to ask:

👉 Who really runs Real Madrid?

Is it Pérez, the experienced president who built the club’s modern empire?
Or is Mbappé, the new superstar, already becoming the center of everything?

At the end of the day, this cartoon isn’t about facts — it’s about the conversation. And in football, sometimes the conversation is just as entertaining as reality.
