While disagreements and heated moments are common in football, the feeling is that tensions inside Madrid have become more visible because of the enormous pressure surrounding the club’s underwhelming season.

One incident pointed out by the aforementioned outlet came during a La Liga match back in February, when Mbappe and Jude Bellingham were involved in a ‘verbal confrontation’ at half-time.

Although both players continue to respect each other’s quality and maintain a generally positive relationship, the report suggests that differences in mentality and reactions to certain situations this season have created friction at times.

Bellingham reportedly became frustrated with some of Mbappe’s comments and reactions during difficult periods.

At the same time, the Frenchman is said to have disagreed with the position taken by Bellingham and other Real Madrid teammates regarding internal matters connected to Xabi Alonso.

As a result, there is growing concern within the club that some players have started behaving as though they are bigger than the institution itself, and right now, the hierarchy is looking for potential solutions.
