Real Madrid manager Álvaro Arbeloa “completely understands” Kylian Mbappé’s outburst on Thursday evening, but he still told the France international to “stay calm” in the aftermath.
As if there wasn’t already enough drama unfolding at the Bernabéu, Mbappé fanned the flames with explosive comments following Los Blancos’ 2–0 victory over Real Oviedo midweek. The 27-year-old took aim at Arbeloa for keeping him on the bench until the 69th minute and implied the team was better under Xabi Alonso’s watch.
