Everything started to get messy with Real Madrid since they were eliminated from the UEFA Champions League by Bayern Munich. Those simmering scandals have made Los Blancos' preparations for this weekend's El Clasico very chaotic, signaling a devastating defeat at Camp Nou.
Before Real Madrid's away match against Real Betis at the end of April, Kylian Mbappe had a very heated argument with a member of the coaching staff on the training ground. At that time, this person, who played the role of the biên referee, reported an offside error to Mbappe. The French striker did not understand why he could not keep calm. He made uncivilized remarks aimed at this member of the coaching staff.
Currently, there is no information that Mbappe will receive internal disciplinary action, but surely such scandals, when accumulated for a long enough time, will mess up Real Madrid's internal affairs. Mbappe's behavior has made many members of Real Madrid's internal affairs unacceptable. They believe that the club is indulging the 27-year-old striker too much, easily creating a bad precedent for later stars.
Besides this incident, Mbappe is also being criticized for his trip with his girlfriend in Italy. Many fans believe that Mbappe should not go on vacation when the team is going through a difficult time. At the press conference after the match with Real Betis, captain Alvaro Arbeloa was asked about Mbappe 3 times.
In their free time, players have the right to do what they feel is appropriate. I do not interfere in that. All plans related to injured players are supervised and managed by the Real Madrid medical team. They are the ones who decide when players have to go to Valdebebas center and when not" - Arbeloa shared.
Currently, no one knows whether Mbappe can return in El Clasico or not. He has scored 41 goals in 41 matches since the beginning of the season, is still the brightest star in attack but from injuries to scandals are hindering Mbappe from normally returning to the dressing room.
Mbappe's case also reflects a more worrying reality when solidarity within Real Madrid is being questioned. There are very few signs that everyone will hold hands to travel to Camp Nou this weekend. Barcelona only needs a draw to be champion, but they can win, even win big Real Madrid is in crisis as it is now.
The uncertain future of Arbeloa and many players is also a major reason leading to this sad situation. They will fight for an unimaginable thing, which is to overthrow Barcelona when the right to self-determination is no longer there? A collective with many people who are sure to leave or rumored to have a bleak future, where will they get the solidarity to play a good match together right at the stronghold of their great rival?
Real Madrid is waiting for a breath of fresh air, possibly on the coaching bench to solve all this mess. As long as the story of the stars still confuses everything as it is now, no matter how much more brilliance Real Madrid adds, it still cannot hide the fact that they have rotted from deep within.
