Things are not going well for SM Caen, and by extension for Kylian Mbappé, who has owned the club for a few months. On Saturday, the Normandy team suffered a resounding defeat: eliminated in the 7th round of the Coupe de France by Bayeux (R1), a team playing… three divisions lower. Final score: 3-2. A sporting slap that adds to an already established negative streak.
It’s an industrial disaster in Caen. Another blow with this elimination in the Coupe de France, just a few days after the announcement of a social plan that lays off several club employees.
Far from being an isolated incident, this setback confirms the negative spiral engulfing Caen. Relegated to National after a disastrous 2024-25 season, criticized by its own supporters, forced into a social plan, the club is going through an explosive period. And every misstep falls on Mbappé’s shoulders, who is experiencing a presidency much more perilous than expected.
The Orelsan controversy…
Behind the scenes, the atmosphere is just as electric. Local icon rapper Orelsan took a jab at the player in his latest album. Mbappé responded by claiming that Orelsan would have wanted to enter the capital “without paying,” triggering a controversy that even Booba got involved in.
A clash that the captain of the Blues brushed off with a “I’m not interested,” but which has only amplified the pressure surrounding SMC.
Sportingly overwhelmed, institutionally fragile, media-shaken… Caen falls again, and the entire Mbappé clan wobbles with it.
