The atmosphere at Real Madrid grew tense ahead of the clash with Betis when star newcomer Kylian Mbappé got into a heated argument with a member of the coaching staff.
Details: According to The Athletic, the incident occurred during a routine training scrimmage when one of Álvaro Arbeloa's assistants ruled the Frenchman offside. The coach's decision triggered a strong emotional reaction from the striker, escalating into a verbal spat in front of the entire squad.
This episode was just the start of a string of setbacks for the French forward last week. It was in that ill-fated match against Betis that Mbappé suffered an injury, preventing him from training fully with the squad ahead of the next round.
As a result, the club's medical staff and management decided to leave the player out of the squad for the away game against Espanyol, aiming to avoid the risk of serious complications during the crucial stage of the season.
It's worth noting that this season, the French striker has played 41 matches, scoring 41 goals and providing 6 assists.
Reminder: It has been revealed whether Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez will attend El Clásico.
