On 4 June 2024, after seven seasons spent in Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), the captain of the French football team, Kylian Mbappé, had declared himself to be “freed and relieved” after the conclusion of his transfer to Real Madrid. Two years later, an article allegedly published by Eurosport, shared on social media, claimed that the player had revealed that his departure was linked to French President Emmanuel Macron. But this article, which is not based on any verified information, is published on a website similar to Eurosport’s and usurping the identity of one of its journalists. All the characteristics of pro-Russian disinformation operations are combined.
