Kylian Mbappé raises tensions in the Real Madrid dressing room
Kylian Mbappé has already hit his stride with Real Madrid, becoming the club’s top scorer this season. His difficult start to the season is now long behind him.
But the cohesion between him and his teammates is not at its best. The Spanish press has suggested that within Real Madrid, there is already concern about the relationship between Mbappé and Vinicius.
The club’s two star players are unable to perform simultaneously. Either one is below average, or sometimes both players are not performing at their best.
However, Kylian Mbappé has made it clear that he is not in competition with anyone at Real Madrid. He just wants to win titles and write his own legend.
“I’m two goals behind Cristiano’s first season? Even if I score more goals, it doesn’t mean I’m better, they’re just numbers. But I feel good, 2025 is going to be a very good year both collectively and personally,” he said after his brace against Villarreal.
