On Thursday night, Kylian Mbappé sent the assist to Jude Bellingham’s 2-0 goal against Oviedo. However, it was not goal points that Mbappé came into focus on. After the game, the super-duper star he had been told by coach Arbeloa stated that he was the fourth choice among the strikers. When the coach afterwards has to go out and call this a squirt, then we understand how dense the fog of conflict hangs over Real Madrid.
“I wish I had four strikers. I don’t know what to say, because I don’t have four strikers, and I haven’t told him. He probably didn’t understand it. I didn’t say he was the fourth striker,” Alvaro Arbeloa begins, according to Marca.

The Spanish coach also makes it clear that the omission is due to the injury the Frenchman has been struggling with.
“If I don’t pick him, he can’t play – that’s clear. I’m the coach, and I decide who plays and who doesn’t. Four days ago, he couldn’t even go on the bench, and today (Thursday) there wasn’t a final. He will be the first striker, says the Real Madrid coach.
And the snowball rolls on.
