“Mbappe sabotaging Bellingham’s form” — Thierry Henry

Kylian Mbappe has sparked waves across both France and Real Madrid after breaking his silence about being excluded from France’s latest UEFA Nations League squad.

Despite French manager Didier Deschamps revealing that Mbappe was eager to join Les Bleus, rumors swirl that he opted out due to off-field issues, sparking a storm among fans and pundits alike.

Adding fuel to the fire, French football legend Thierry Henry has raised eyebrows by suggesting Mbappe’s high-profile entry into Madrid may be affecting Jude Bellingham’s form.

Henry hinted that Bellingham’s recent dip might be due to covering for Mbappe on the pitch, suggesting that Bellingham is forced to make the team-driving runs normally expected of Mbappe.

Henry claimed, “It’s Bellingham that is doing Mbappe’s job. He’s running and breaking the lines, which can happen from time to time, but not all the time.”

As the controversy grows, fans are left wondering: could Mbappe’s star power be overshadowing his team’s dynamics at Madrid, and is there more to his sudden France absence than meets the eye?
