Jude Bellingham speaks about his relationship with Mbappe, Rodrygo and Vinicius
Real Madrid midfielder Jude Bellingham has addressed the claims of tension on social media between himself, Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior & Rodrygo following the team’s 3-1 win over Stuttgart on Tuesday.
The Galacticos started their Champions League title defence with a comfortable 3-1 in their opener against Stuttgart. Kylian Mbappe scored the first and has already netted five goals in seven games for his new club.
The Frenchman signed a five-year contract with the Spanish giants and has found the back of the net thrice in five league games. Recently there were reports of discord on social media in the Real dressing room, but Bellingham has squashed any such rumours and claims that they are all ‘good friends’
Bellingham told reporters: “I saw on social media that they are trying to create something negative between me, Mbappe, Rodrygo and Vinicius. The only truth is that we are very good friends on and off the pitch.”

The England international also hailed Kylian Mbappe’s contribution to the club since his arrival to Santiago Bernabeu in the summer. Bellingham explained his admiration of the Frenchman who evidently did not surprise him, as he used to the forward’s remarkable performance on the big stage.
He said: “It’s what he does, I’m not surprised at all. I didn’t even realise it was his debut, I just thought it was another game he would score in. He always delivers so far, it’s a lot of pressure coming to a club like Madrid, but he’s taken to it really easily and the lads love him already. He’s going to be a huge player for us, this season and beyond.”
