Real Madrid’s defeat against Liverpool (2-0) in the Champions League was marked by an intriguing episode behind the scenes. When returning from the locker room before the start of the second half, images broadcast by CBS show Kylian Mbappé trying to challenge Jude Bellingham.
The Englishman, although at the heart of the Madrid squad, completely ignored his teammate, preferring to speak to Antonio Rüdiger and Brahim Diaz. This scene did not fail to evoke memories of past tensions, in particular the episode where Karim Benzema asked his teammates not to pass the ball to Vinicius Junior.
A tense atmosphere at Real Madrid
This incident could reflect complicated relations within the Madrid team, already weakened by its lackluster results this season. While Mbappé, in the midst of a crisis of confidence, is struggling to establish himself in his new club, this kind of behavior could illustrate a lack of cohesion. If the image of a united locker room is essential to improve the sporting situation, this episode could leave its mark in the coming weeks.
