Real Madrid’s New Era: Jude Bellingham Claps Back at Kylian Mbappe Rumors
The transfer window drama might be over, but the Real Madrid soap opera continues to unfold. The latest twist? Jude Bellingham has spoken out to dispel rumors of a dressing-room rift with new teammate Kylian Mbappe.
The 19-year-old English midfielder has just returned from an injury, and it’s been an eventful few weeks at the Santiago Bernabeu. Mbappe’s summer arrival from PSG sent shockwaves through the squad, and some reports claimed a rift had formed between him and some of the team’s other stars.
Not so, says Bellingham. In a passionate response, he cleared the air, stating, "I saw on social media that someone’s trying to create something negative between Mbappé, Rodrygo, Vinicius, and me. The only truth is that we are very good friends on and off the pitch."
It’s no secret that Mbappe has brought a new level of intensity to the team, and Carlo Ancelotti has been praising his work ethic in training. But what about the rumors of a fall-out with his teammates? Ancelotti was adamant that the team is cohesive and united, saying, "Nobody knows better than Real Madrid what it’s like to win a Champions League with suffering. We are still trying to find our best version. It’s a work in progress."
One player who is certainly making an impact is teenage sensation Endrick, who scored his first European goal in the 3-1 win over Stuttgart. Ancelotti praised the 18-year-old’s ability, saying, "He has the gift that strikers dream of, the gift of being very effective, decisive… You can see that he has something special, something I have never seen."
As Real Madrid looks to find its best form in the Champions League, Bellingham’s comments offer a glimpse into the inner workings of the team. It’s clear that they’re working hard to find their rhythm, and a united dressing room is the key to success.
