Mbappé's unexpected statements cause a stir within Real Madrid

The situation surrounding Kylian Mbappé at Real Madrid is becoming increasingly serious. It is reported that the French forward's open statement to journalists after the La Liga Matchday 36 clash against Oviedo came as a surprise to the club's management.

According to RMC Sport, the Madrid hierarchy did not plan for Mbappé to speak with the media. Despite being accompanied by a press officer, the player decided to answer journalists' questions on his own initiative.

During the conversation, Kylian Mbappé claimed that head coach Álvaro Arbeloa told him he was viewed as the fourth-choice striker at Real Madrid, which is why he did not start the match against Oviedo.

However, shortly thereafter, the Spanish coach denied these claims during a press conference. Arbeloa emphasized that he had never referred to Mbappé as the 'Royal Club's' fourth-choice striker.

According to the Spanish press, what worries the Real Madrid board most is that Mbappé has started discussing internal club matters in public. This is further fueling rumors and debates regarding the atmosphere within the team.
