Real Madrid are heading straight towards a season without a trophy. Friday evening, the Madrilenians again let slip points by being held by Betis Sevilla (1-1), while FC Barcelona won against Getafe on Saturday (2-0), widening the gap to 11 units with five days to go.
But the crisis is no longer limited to the field. Internally, the Kylian Mbappé case is increasingly fueling tensions. Already singled out after his knee injury, where responsibilities seemed shared between the player and the club, the Frenchman finds himself at the heart of growing unease.
His outing against Betis in particular sowed doubt among supporters, with some questioning the reality of his injury and evoking possible management with a view to the World Cup. “One of the reasons why the fans were upset yesterday (Friday) was because they didn’t have the feeling that Mbappé was really injured. We had the feeling that he didn’t want to force it.”thus released Tomas Roncero on the
Cadena SER.
A behavior that questions
For his part, Marca ensures that “Mbappé is fed up”describing a player particularly irritated by the repetition of his physical problems in the run-up to the World Cup. A weariness which would not be limited to the medical aspect.
According to The Real Journalhis behavior behind the scenes also raises questions. Annoyance towards certain teammates, comments made in private, strained relationship with Alvaro Arbeloa, regular friction with Jude Bellingham… The locker room would even lean more towards Vinicius Junior, symbol of progressive isolation for the French striker.
