The arrival of Kylian Mbappé at Real Madrid seems to have caused some tension in the Santiago Bernabéu dressing room. Rodrygo feels overlooked compared to the newly formed “BMV” trio (Bellingham, Mbappé, Vinícius). Mbappé, who was long pursued by Real Madrid, scored his first goal in the UEFA Super Cup final against Atalanta shortly after joining. While Mbappé’s inclusion boosts the team’s quality, integrating him with existing stars like Bellingham, Vinícius, and Rodrygo poses challenges. The media’s use of “BMV” excludes Rodrygo, adding to the tension.
It seems that Rodrygo might have felt a bit overlooked recently. A WhatsApp message suggested he wasn’t entirely pleased about being left out of discussions about Real Madrid’s new attacking trio of Bellingham, Mbappe, and Vinicius. The message hinted that Rodrygo believed his name should be added to this lineup. However, it’s reported by El Chiringuito that this message actually came from his media team, not Rodrygo himself. The message was later deleted to avoid further misunderstandings. Rodrygo did start and score in Real Madrid’s 2024-25 La Liga opener against Mallorca.
