Tension appears to be building inside the Real Madrid dressing room, with fresh reports suggesting that Kylian Mbappe is no longer enjoying full support from his teammates.
According to revelations from L’Equipe, several Real Madrid players have raised concerns over Mbappe’s recent behaviour, describing it as overly ‘individualistic’.
The French forward, who arrived with huge expectations, is now reportedly facing growing frustration from within the squad.
What are the concerns?
As per the outlet, there is a feeling among players that Mbappe is receiving ‘special privileges’, something that has not gone unnoticed in a dressing room that values unity.
It is reported that during a training session, Mbappe’s attitude towards a staff member did not sit well with teammates.
On another occasion, he arrived around 40 minutes late to a team meal organised by the players, a moment that further damaged his standing within the group.
As a result, Mbappe is said to be becoming increasingly isolated.

While he still maintains close relationships with fellow French internationals like Aurelien Tchouameni, Eduardo Camavinga, and Ferland Mendy, his connection with the other squad members appears to have weakened.
A trip to Italy
Off the pitch, his recent trip to Italy has also drawn attention. Although the trip was approved by the club, it has reportedly irritated both staff and supporters.
The issue is not the trip itself, but the perception that Mbappe failed to consider how it would reflect on him, especially given his injury and the timing ahead of an important fixture.
Despite all this, Real Madrid’s coaching staff and management remain focused on his recovery.
The priority is to have him fit, particularly with a high-stakes clash against Barcelona on the horizon.
However, his chances of featuring in El Clasico remain uncertain, and the club is not expected to rush him back into action.
