Real Madrid have the most dynamic quartet of superstars in world football in Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior, Kylian Mbappe, and Rodrygo Goes. All four are Ballon d’Or caliber players, and all four are showing signs of clicking together after a handful of starts at Real Madrid.
Vinicius Jr., Bellingham, and Rodrygo already won the Champions League and LaLiga together before Mbappe’s arrival, and now with Mbappe becoming the primary scorer after multiple seasons as the top goal-scorer in Ligue 1, the ceiling is even higher for Real Madrid.
Before Mbappe stepped foot at the Santiago Bernabeu, there were many in the media raising concerns about too many cooks in the kitchen and a possible clash of egos in the Real Madrid locker room.
Jude Bellingham, who has been the subject of plenty of media bogus before, saw it all and has been having absolutely none of this talk of problems among the Real Madrid superstars.
He said after Real’s 3-1 win over Stuttgart, “I saw on social media that they are trying to create something negative between me, Mbappe, Rodrygo and Vinicius, and the only truth is that we are very good friends on and off the pitch.”
There you have it, @HonestPenaldoFan, Joan Laporta, and whoever else is out there talking about friction in the Real Madrid locker room. Jude Bellingham, Kylian Mbappe, Rodrygo Goes, and Vinicius Jr. are all getting along just fine.
That scares the heck out of everyone else in world football. And it should.
