Watch: Unsportsmanlike scenes as Real Madrid forward reacts badly to Super Cup defeat to Barcelona | Barca Universal

"The Spanish Super Cup final did not end quietly, even after the final whistle, as post-match scenes involving Real Madrid forward Kylian Mbappe became one of the main talking points. The French forward, who featured only in the final 20 minutes of the match, drew attention for his behaviour during the awards ceremony, which many interpreted as a lack of sportsmanship."

"As is customary after finals, the Barcelona players formed a guard of honour to acknowledge Real Madrid as runners-up. What did he do? Interestingly, moments later, Mbappe was seen gesturing towards his teammates, urging them not to applaud Barcelona and to leave the pitch area quickly. Images showed the forward repeating this gesture several times, signalling his displeasure with the situation."

"When it was time for the teams to approach the podium to collect medals and the trophy, Real Madrid did not return the gesture shown earlier by Barcelona. This decision, influenced at least in part by Mbappe's visible stance, was met with audible disapproval from sections of the crowd, particularly from Barcelona supporters present in the stands. As such, not all Real Madrid players reacted in the same way."
