The atmosphere inside the Real Madrid dressing room has reportedly reached a breaking point. Several teammates have voiced their fury over Kylian Mbappé recent behavior, with many labeling the French superstar “unprofessional.” This internal rift adds to a growing list of crises for Mbappé at the Santiago Bernabéu, raising serious questions about his long-term future in the Spanish capital.
The Italy Controversy: Recovery or Vacation?
The latest wave of criticism follows leaked images of Mbappé in Italy with his girlfriend during a period when he was supposedly focused on recovering from a recent injury. While fans took to social media to vent their frustration, it has now become clear that the anger within the squad is even more intense.
According to reports from El Mundo, the Real Madrid squad was left “stunned” by the timing of the trip. The club is currently navigating a difficult period, facing intense scrutiny following a string of poor performances in what is being dubbed a potential “trophy-less season.”
“Unprofessional” and Disrespectful
The players’ frustration stems from a perceived lack of commitment. In February, when Mbappé traveled to Paris, the squad was understanding as he was accompanied by physiotherapists to continue his rehabilitation. However, this Italian getaway is being viewed as pure negligence.
Adding fuel to the fire, Mbappé had reportedly promised his teammates he would do everything possible to be fit for El Clásico. Those promises now ring hollow following reports that he is unwilling to “take risks” to avoid an injury that might jeopardize his participation in the 2026 World Cup. While his injured teammates are pushing their physical limits to return to the pitch, Mbappé’s choice to prioritize a vacation has led many to describe his attitude as a total lack of respect for the club’s “Madridismo” values.
Growing Isolation: The Vinícius and Bellingham Factor
This is not the first time tensions have flared between the Frenchman and the core squad. Spanish media outlets have previously suggested that the majority of the locker room sides with Vinícius Júnior in any internal power struggle. Many believe that Mbappé’s arrival has disrupted the team’s tactical balance without providing the expected technical brilliance.
Relations with Jude Bellingham are said to be particularly strained after the Englishman reportedly criticized Mbappé’s defensive work rate. As it stands, the former PSG star is becoming an increasingly isolated figure in a locker room that once looked like a united front.
