Tensions are rising in the Real Madrid dressing room surrounding the French star, as what was once considered competitive ambition is now being interpreted as a genuine source of concern for the team. The turning point came in the recent match against Sevilla, where a lackluster performance and poor team cohesion revealed palpable discontent among several key players.
Mbappé’s obsession with breaking the goalscoring record has become a source of frustration for his teammates. Some feel the Frenchman is prioritizing his personal goals over the team’s best interests, creating a rift in the team’s harmony on the pitch. The problem was starkly evident during the Sevilla game: repetitive individual play, avoidance of simple passes, and a focus on personal achievements at the expense of team spirit.

Jude Bellingham was among the first to voice his frustration, stating that this pattern is becoming all too familiar and that the team cannot compete at the highest level with this approach. The overall impression of the team was one of division, a lack of solidarity, and palpable disappointment after the match.
The internal message is clear: at Real Madrid, individual talent alone is not enough; teamwork, discipline, and commitment are essential. Mbappé still has a chance to correct his course, but the complaints are no longer isolated, and the club is aware that continuing this behavior could divide the team and affect the season’s ambitions.
