Kylian Mbappe (French striker for Real Madrid) expressed his dissatisfaction after being benched by coach Alvaro Arbeloa, who referred to him as the 'fourth forward' behind Vinicius Junior, Franco Mastantuono, and Gonzalo Garcia. In a recent match against Real Oviedo, Mbappe returned from a thigh injury but only played as a substitute, entering the game in the 69th minute. His appearance was met with whistles from the home crowd at Santiago Bernabeu, reflecting their frustration with his perceived lack of commitment. Mbappe defended his actions, stating he had club authorization for a holiday in Sardinia during his recovery. Arbeloa clarified that he did not explicitly tell Mbappe he was lower in the pecking order and explained that he wanted to avoid risking the player's health after a recent injury. With Barcelona having already clinched the La Liga title, Real Madrid is set to finish the season without a major trophy for the second year in a row, leading to increased scrutiny of the team's performance and management.
