Kylian Mbappé started the World Cup playing like very few ever have. And France, which months earlier had doubted him, criticized his style, and even questioned whether he deserved the number 10 shirt, decided to do something unusual: ask for his forgiveness. Publicly. With signatures.
The campaign is called “Kylian, forgive us” and it already has more than 14,760 signatures from repentant French people who admit they doubted the forward. The site needs 11,240 more signatures to complete its goal: to officially award France the “National Shame Trophy”.
La République has been waiting 381 days for this moment. And now, amid laughter and collective guilt, an entire country is lining up digitally to acknowledge that it was wrong about its own star 😂🇫🇷
