The incident stemmed from Mbappe being brought on from the bench by coach Didier Deschamps. The Real Madrid striker reportedly asked teammate Rayan Cherki to take back the captain's armband from N'Golo Kante and give it to him.
After receiving a message from Cherki, Kante quickly removed the captain's armband and gave it to Mbappe. However, the issue lies in the fans' debate about Mbappe's attitude and behavior towards his teammates on the field.
Many believe Mbappe is wielding too much power in the "Les Bleus" dressing room. Some fans think he should be more tactful in his dealings with senior players like Kante.

Mbappe is currently the official captain of the French national team. Receiving the captain's armband back when entering the field can be considered normal within the internal hierarchy of any team.
However, the method used—through an intermediary instead of direct communication—was deemed tactless, sparking debate about the attitude and leadership qualities of the 1998-born star.
Conversely, there are also viewpoints defending the Real Madrid striker, arguing that this is just a normal situation in professional football. Kante's decision to hand over the captain's armband to Mbappe was the right thing to do.
Currently, the players involved, such as Mbappe, Chevri, and Kante, have not commented. The trio have returned to their respective clubs to prepare for the weekend's matches.
This controversy partly illustrates Mbappe's growing influence within the French national team, while also raising questions about how he embodies leadership within a team full of strong personalities.
