A detail from the World Cup has reignited rumors of a dispute in the Real dressing room.

During a World Cup match between England and France, tensions resurfaced between two prominent Real Madrid players, Kylian Mbappé and Jude Bellingham. Before the game, Mbappé winked at Bellingham during a formal handshake, suggesting a friendly relationship. However, after England’s 6-4 victory and bronze medal win, Mbappé reportedly headed directly to the locker room while Bellingham greeted French teammates, sparking rumors of a rift between them. Reports suggest that Mbappé has been critical of his Real Madrid teammates for not adequately supporting former coach Xabi Alonso, while Bellingham was among Alonso’s fiercest critics. The alleged conflict comes amid ongoing internal issues within Real Madrid, which appeared fractured last season. Additionally, Mbappé is said to have poor relations with Vinicius Jr., and it remains to be seen if José Mourinho’s arrival will ease tensions in the locker room.

A SP detail has sparked speculation:

The third-place match at the World Cup between England and France ended with intense reactions beyond the game itself. Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappé, both stars of Real Madrid, became the focus of speculation after they did not exchange greetings post-match, according to Mundo Deportivo. This moment reignited rumors of tension between them, which have been circulating since last season. Social media users highlighted previous footage showing Mbappé expecting a greeting from Bellingham but being ignored. Spanish media have long speculated about conflicts within Real Madrid’s squad, including claims that Bellingham was among those who did not support Mbappé during a past coaching change. With José Mourinho now joining Real Madrid, managing these tensions could become one of his early challenges.
