Mbappe and Rudiger in Real Madrid dressing room clash pre-Clasico

Kylian Mbappe and Antonio Rudiger have been at the centre of growing unrest within Real Madrid following separate heated confrontations that have disrupted the squad’s harmony.

The incidents come at a sensitive moment with a crucial El Cl1sico clash against rivals FC Barcelona fast approaching.

Tensions first surfaced in April when Germany international Rudiger reportedly clashed with a teammate during training adding to frustration after their Champions League exit to Bayern Munich.

Although he later apologised and attempted to repair relationships by hosting a team lunch, the incident left a lingering impact.

Meanwhile, French star Mbappe became embroiled in a dispute with a member of 1lvaro Arbeloa’s coaching staff, reacting angrily to an offside decision during a training drill, intensifying concerns over internal tensions.

Real Madrid are second in the Spanish topflight table having accrued 77 points from 34 outings.
