Since his debut for Real Madrid in August 2024, Kylian Mbappe has been referred to in the football world as 'The Dictator' due to his perceived influence and control over both club and international football operations.

Reports indicate that several prominent Chinese brands are distancing themselves from the football star as a result of this association.
