Training Ground Bust-Up Adds to Growing Turmoil as Champions League Hopes Hang by a Thread
Real Madrid’s season is on the brink of unraveling after a heated training ground altercation between Jude Bellingham and Antonio Rüdiger, just days before their must-win Champions League clash against Arsenal.
According to reports from Spanish outlet El Chiringuito, the two stars had to be pulled apart by teammates after a fiery exchange during Friday’s training session.
The incident reportedly erupted following a late or overly aggressive challenge in a practice match, leaving both players seething—and nearly trading blows.
Though the pair later shook hands and made up, the clash highlights the mounting pressure at the Bernabéu. Real Madrid face a near-impossible task in overturning a 3-0 first-leg deficit against Arsenal, while their La Liga title hopes also hang in the balance—four points behind Barcelona with just seven games left.
The drama doesn’t end there. Kylian Mbappé’s red card in a tense 1-0 win over Alavés added to the chaos, while Vinícius Júnior’s future remains uncertain amid stalled contract talks and reported frustration from the club’s hierarchy.
With morale seemingly fragile, Arsenal will sense an opportunity to exploit the cracks in Madrid’s armor when they meet on Wednesday. While the Spanish giants are no strangers to legendary European comebacks, this time, their biggest enemy might just be themselves.
