This Saturday morning, Kylian Mbappé is at the center of all debates in Spain. Author of a disappointing performance against Real Betis (1-1), the Frenchman also had to give up his place due to injury at the end of the match. If for the moment the first trends are positive, in Spain, we have also been talking about his relationship with Arbeloa for a few weeks now.

According to information from the COPEKylian Mbappé is not as close to the Spanish coach as he was with Xabi Alonso. The former Bayer Leverkusen coach was more appreciated by Mbappé. The Spanish media explains that the controversy of Mbappé’s like (on a publication evoking the arrival of Mourinho at Real Madrid) and Arbeloa’s icy response on the subject at a press conference (” that people like Mourinho or Julia Roberts doesn’t bother me, it doesn’t make me hot or cold, it doesn’t matter ), illustrates this discomfort well. The two men maintain a purely professional relationship with no particular affinity.
