Trouble brewing at Real Madrid
As per the outlet, there has been no indication of formal disciplinary action taken against Mbappe, although the reaction within the club has been far from neutral.
The episode has reportedly contributed to a noticeable shift in the atmosphere around Real Madrid.
Several individuals close to the club, including staff members and people linked to other players, have expressed concern, not only about Mbappe’s conduct but also about how the situation has been handled.

There is a growing feeling that the club could have taken a stronger stance.
In response to the criticism, Mbappe’s representatives have addressed the situation, stating,
“The portion of the criticism is based on an over-interpretation of elements related to a recovery period strictly supervised by the club, and does not reflect the reality of Kylian’s commitment and daily work for the team.”
So what now?
Arbeloa, for his part, is understood to have distanced himself from the incident publicly.
However, sources suggest that he is not entirely satisfied with how the matter has been managed behind the scenes.
The situation has been further complicated by Mbappe’s recent trip to Italy with his partner, which had already sparked debate.
For now, the reaction within Madrid remains mixed, as the issue has become a major talking point, with many questioning whether the forward should have been granted time away during a difficult period for the team.
