  1. 0:00Two Madrid stars have come to blows
  2. 0:02right in the middle of training. Just
  3. 0:0517 days before the Clásico. According
  4. 0:07to sources close to the locker room,
  5. 0:08they had to be pulled apart. Shoving,
  6. 0:10shouting, teammates stepping in, and
  7. 0:12Mourinho watching, unable to believe
  8. 0:15what he was seeing. And we’re not
  9. 0:17talking about two bench players
  10. 0:18fighting over an extra minute. We’re
  11. 0:20talking about two of the most expensive
  12. 0:22players on the planet. And before you
  13. 0:23think it, I'll tell you right now. No,
  14. 0:27it's not Tchouaméni and Valverde, but
  15. 0:28the story is very similar because this
  16. 0:30locker room already had a case, and now
  17. 0:32it's happened again with two even
  18. 0:34bigger names. And the craziest part
  19. 0:37isn't the fight, the craziest part is
  20. 0:39the motive. It wasn't a tackle, it
  21. 0:41wasn't a 50/50 ball, it wasn't a spark
  22. 0:43in a rondo; it was a sentence, a single
  23. 0:45sentence written on social media in
  24. 0:48front of millions of people. And
  25. 0:50there's something else. One of the two
  26. 0:52is already looking at the exit door. So
  27. 0:55today we’re going to see who they are
  28. 0:57, why they fought, and what’s going
  29. 0:58to happen now. And I warn you, every
  30. 1:01detail I'm about to tell you is bigger
  31. 1:03than the last. Let's get to the fight.
  32. 1:05It was broken by Cadena SER. Two Madrid
  33. 1:08players came to blows just like that,
  34. 1:10no beating around the bush—not a
  35. 1:12shouting match, but physical contact.
  36. 1:15And according to sources close to the
  37. 1:16team, it happened right in the middle
  38. 1:17of the session. A clash during a play,
  39. 1:20a comment, then a stronger comment. And
  40. 1:23suddenly they were face to face, first
  41. 1:25a shove, then another, and then what
  42. 1:27nobody wants to see in training.
  43. 1:29Teammates had to step in between them.
  44. 1:32They say even the coaching staff ran to
  45. 1:34separate them, and Mourinho, reportedly
  46. 1:36, brought the training to a dead halt.
  47. 1:39Total silence. No one moved, no one
  48. 1:42said a word. And here is what is truly
  49. 1:45worrying in Madrid: this isn't just a
  50. 1:47one-day heat-of-the-moment thing, this
  51. 1:49goes way back, because SER itself says
  52. 1:51the atmosphere in that locker room
  53. 1:53remains as frozen as it was 5 months
  54. 1:54ago. Just as frozen, 5 months later;
  55. 1:57it’s a group that didn't get along
  56. 1:59with Xabi Alonso, and didn't get along
  57. 2:01with Arbeloa either. And Mourinho
  58. 2:04arrived this summer precisely for that,
  59. 2:06to lay down the law, to put an end to
  60. 2:07the cliques, and he has failed to do so
  61. 2:09. Not by a long shot; not even
  62. 2:12Mourinho's intensity has been able to
  63. 2:14handle this locker room. And coming
  64. 2:16from Mourinho, that says it all. Who
  65. 2:19are the two players? I’ll tell you
  66. 2:21now, but first you need to know what
  67. 2:22happened last time, because it is the
  68. 2:24key to everything. And the last time it
  69. 2:26ended with the biggest fine in the
  70. 2:28club's history. We go back to the era
  71. 2:30of Xabi Alonso and Arbeloa. In that
  72. 2:32locker room there were two sides, those
  73. 2:34from one camp and those from the other.
  74. 2:36And those two sides ended up clashing,
  75. 2:38right? In a press conference inside the
  76. 2:41locker room. And that's when what
  77. 2:42happened, happened. Tchouameni left
  78. 2:44Valverde out cold. Out cold, just like
  79. 2:47that. One teammate knocking down
  80. 2:49another teammate. And what did the club
  81. 2:51do? Fined both of them. The biggest
  82. 2:53fine in the entire history of Real
  83. 2:55Madrid. But here is the important part.
  84. 2:57After something like that, the normal
  85. 2:59thing is to sell, clean up, remove
  86. 3:01someone to heal the locker room. And
  87. 3:03they sold someone, no, they didn't sell
  88. 3:05anyone. The same people remained, the
  89. 3:07same sides, the same feuds, the same
  90. 3:10faces. And naturally, it was a matter
  91. 3:12of time. It was a matter of time before
  92. 3:15the locker room blew up again, and it
  93. 3:18has, but this time with two players who
  94. 3:20aren't Tchouameni or Valverde; this
  95. 3:23time it's two stars. Two of those who
  96. 3:26appear in every commercial, two of
  97. 3:28those that Florentino presented as the
  98. 3:30future of the club. And mind you, one
  99. 3:33thing before continuing: if this
  100. 3:34happened at Barça, we'd have 4 days of
  101. 3:36talk shows discussing a crisis, chaos,
  102. 3:38and that the club is broken. It happens
  103. 3:41at Madrid and there isn't a single
  104. 3:43front page, not one. Total silence in
  105. 3:45Madrid. So if you want to find out what
  106. 3:48really happens inside that locker room,
  107. 3:50what they won't tell you in Madrid,
  108. 3:52subscribe now because I'm going to tell
  109. 3:54you the two names. And the reason, but
  110. 3:57before the names, let's go back for a
  111. 3:59second to that training session,
  112. 4:01because there is a detail that changes
  113. 4:03everything. According to sources close
  114. 4:06to the team, when they separated them,
  115. 4:08one of the two kept shouting, pointing
  116. 4:10at the other, telling him in front of
  117. 4:12everyone to remember what he had
  118. 4:14written, what he had written. Keep that
  119. 4:16phrase in mind, because it is the key.
  120. 4:19And the other, as they say, went
  121. 4:20straight to the locker room without
  122. 4:22finishing the session, without looking
  123. 4:23at anyone. And watch out, because not
  124. 4:26just anyone does that. Leaving a
  125. 4:27Mourinho training session without
  126. 4:29permission is something only someone
  127. 4:31who feels untouchable dares to do. And
  128. 4:33in that locker room, there are few
  129. 4:35untouchables, very few. I'll give you
  130. 4:37hints to see if you can guess before I
  131. 4:39say it. It's not a youth player, it's
  132. 4:42not a veteran on his way out. They are
  133. 4:45two high-profile signings, the kind
  134. 4:47unveiled with a packed stadium, the
  135. 4:48kind whose names appear on the
  136. 4:50best-selling jerseys in the store, and
  137. 4:52both have played in or nearly reached a
  138. 4:54World Cup final. Both see themselves as
  139. 4:57the team's best player, and that is the
  140. 5:00problem, because there can only be one
  141. 5:02best player on a team. Think for a
  142. 5:04moment about the Madrid locker room.
  143. 5:06Who are the two biggest stars carrying
  144. 5:08the most weight in there? The two
  145. 5:09highest-paid, the two with the most at
  146. 5:12stake this year, the two who want to
  147. 5:14lead the same team. Well, you can
  148. 5:16already imagine. According to sources
  149. 5:19close to the locker room, the two
  150. 5:21players who came to blows are
  151. 5:22Bellingham and Mbappé. Yes, both of
  152. 5:26them, Florentino’s two galacticos,
  153. 5:28the five and the ten, the Englishman
  154. 5:30and the Frenchman, the two meant to
  155. 5:32lead Madrid to win everything, throwing
  156. 5:35punches in a training session. And keep
  157. 5:38in mind, this didn't come out of
  158. 5:39nowhere. The bad blood between these
  159. 5:41two goes way back, and that has been
  160. 5:43known for some time. Since Mbappé
  161. 5:45arrived, Madrid has had a problem that
  162. 5:47no one wanted to admit. Two players who
  163. 5:50want to be number one on the same team,
  164. 5:53in the same locker room—two roosters
  165. 5:55in the same henhouse—and in football,
  166. 5:58that never ends well. Bellingham was
  167. 6:00the golden boy of the Bernabéu. He
  168. 6:02arrived, he scored, he captivated; he
  169. 6:04was the leader, the golden boy, and
  170. 6:06then Mbappé arrived, and suddenly the
  171. 6:08spotlight shifted to the Frenchman. The
  172. 6:10headlines, the commercials, the
  173. 6:12spotlights, and Bellingham. According
  174. 6:15to those who know that locker room, he
  175. 6:16never handled it well, and neither did
  176. 6:18Mbappé. Glances, silences, separate
  177. 6:21celebrations. For months, everything
  178. 6:24was covered up until now, because now
  179. 6:26it has exploded. But here comes the
  180. 6:28real question. What was the spark that
  181. 6:31caused two teammates to end up pushing
  182. 6:33each other? It was a sentence, and it
  183. 6:35wasn't said in the locker room. He
  184. 6:37wrote it on social media in front of
  185. 6:39millions of people. And what comes next
  186. 6:42is the most shocking part of the whole
  187. 6:44video. To understand it, you first have
  188. 6:46to know how Mbappé is right now. And
  189. 6:48Mbappé is doing poorly, very poorly.
  190. 6:51According to the press, Mbappé is
  191. 6:53starting to suspect that this won't be
  192. 6:55his year either. Another year gone,
  193. 6:58another year the same. And there is one
  194. 7:00thing that Mbappé wants above all else
  195. 7:02. Above the League, above the Champions
  196. 7:05League, above everything. The Ballon
  197. 7:07d'Or is his obsession; it's what he
  198. 7:09came to Madrid to seek. And right now,
  199. 7:11Mbappé is convinced of one thing: that
  200. 7:14nobody has defended him. He believes
  201. 7:17Madrid hasn't supported his candidacy.
  202. 7:19He believes not even Deschamps, his
  203. 7:21coach, has stood up for him. He
  204. 7:24believes that with his stats, he
  205. 7:25deserved for someone to come out and
  206. 7:27say, "The Ballon d'Or is his." And
  207. 7:29nobody said it, nobody at his club,
  208. 7:31nobody on his national team. He feels
  209. 7:33alone. And watch out, because for a
  210. 7:35player like Mbappé, that’s
  211. 7:37incredibly tough, because Mbappé
  212. 7:38thrives on feeling like the chosen one.
  213. 7:41A world champion since he was 19, just
  214. 7:44a kid. They told him he would be the
  215. 7:46heir to Messi and Cristiano, that the
  216. 7:48Ballon d'Ors would just fall into his
  217. 7:49lap. And how many does he have? None.
  218. 7:52Zero. And every year that passes, he
  219. 7:54sees someone else take it. And every
  220. 7:56year that passes, he takes it worse.
  221. 7:59That's why he came to Madrid, because
  222. 8:01he thought with the white jersey, the
  223. 8:03Ballon d'Or was just a matter of time.
  224. 8:05And instead, he finds himself with a
  225. 8:07club that doesn't campaign for him,
  226. 8:09with a coach who doesn't stand up for
  227. 8:10him. And the worst was yet to come,
  228. 8:13because the final blow didn't come from
  229. 8:15the outside; it came from inside his
  230. 8:16own locker room. And at that moment, in
  231. 8:19the middle of all that, this happens.
  232. 8:22Harry Kane posts a photo celebrating
  233. 8:24with England, and underneath appears a
  234. 8:25comment, a comment from a Real Madrid
  235. 8:27player. Legendary. Nobody deserves it
  236. 8:31more. Signed, Jude Bellingham. Nobody
  237. 8:34deserves it more. The Ballon d'Or, that
  238. 8:36is. Nobody deserves the Ballon d'Or
  239. 8:39more than Harry Kane. That is what
  240. 8:41Bellingham says in public, with
  241. 8:43thousands of likes. And now think about
  242. 8:46Mbappé, who complains that nobody
  243. 8:48supports him, and his teammate—who
  244. 8:49sits 3 meters away from him in the
  245. 8:51locker room—comes out and says
  246. 8:52someone else deserves the Ballon d'Or.
  247. 8:55Someone else who doesn't even play for
  248. 8:57Madrid. A public stabbing in front of
  249. 8:59the whole world. It's not that
  250. 9:02Bellingham isn't supporting Mbappé;
  251. 9:04it's that he's supporting his rival by
  252. 9:06name. And according to sources close to
  253. 9:08the locker room, Mbappé saw it. Of
  254. 9:11course he saw it. Everyone saw it. And
  255. 9:13the next day, at training, everything
  256. 9:15exploded. A play, a collision, a
  257. 9:18comment about the post, and then blows
  258. 9:20—that is the reason. An Instagram
  259. 9:23comment. That's how the Madrid locker
  260. 9:25room is doing. Two stars shoving each
  261. 9:27other over a social media post. And now
  262. 9:30I ask you, Madridistas, who are you
  263. 9:32siding with? Bellingham or Mbappé?
  264. 9:35I'll read your comments because this is
  265. 9:37going to split the Madrid fan base in
  266. 9:39two. Some will say Bellingham has the
  267. 9:41right to say whatever he wants, others
  268. 9:43will call it a betrayal. And the truth
  269. 9:46is both could be true, but in a locker
  270. 9:48room, those kinds of things aren't
  271. 9:50forgiven. And look at the details.
  272. 9:52Bellingham didn't stay quiet; he could
  273. 9:54have said nothing, but he wrote that.
  274. 9:57No one deserves it more. Knowing
  275. 9:59perfectly well who would find out,
  276. 10:01knowing perfectly well what would
  277. 10:03happen in the locker room. That isn't
  278. 10:06an oversight; that is a message. And if
  279. 10:09you know Bellingham, it doesn't
  280. 10:10surprise you at all, because that's who
  281. 10:13he is. He doesn't stay quiet, he's
  282. 10:15direct. Remember the World Cup. England
  283. 10:18loses to Argentina in the semifinals
  284. 10:20and, at the end, Bellingham slaps Barco
  285. 10:22on the back of the head on camera.
  286. 10:25Without thinking twice, that’s
  287. 10:27Bellingham. A player with huge
  288. 10:30character who doesn't back down from
  289. 10:32anyone, not a rival, not a teammate,
  290. 10:34not even Mbappé. And Mbappé isn't one
  291. 10:36to stay quiet, either. Mbappé is used
  292. 10:39to being the king. In Paris he was, in
  293. 10:42France he is. In Paris the club
  294. 10:45revolved around him; signings, the
  295. 10:47manager, everything went through
  296. 10:50Mbappé. And he arrives in Madrid and
  297. 10:52finds another king, one who already had
  298. 10:54the Bernabéu in his pocket before he
  299. 10:56even got there. Two kings in the same
  300. 10:58palace. That doesn't work. It has never
  301. 11:02worked. And now, on top of that, one
  302. 11:04tells the world that someone else
  303. 11:05deserves the throne. Not even him.
  304. 11:08Someone else. Guys, do you know what
  305. 11:10that means to someone like Mbappé?
  306. 11:13It’s the worst thing they can do to
  307. 11:14him. Worse than a foul, worse than an
  308. 11:17insult, because the Ballon d'Or is the
  309. 11:18only thing he lacks and his own
  310. 11:20teammate told him in front of everyone
  311. 11:22that he doesn't deserve it. That's why
  312. 11:25he blew up. That's why, according to
  313. 11:27close sources, the next day he couldn't
  314. 11:29take it anymore and Bellingham wasn't
  315. 11:31going to back down either. That's how
  316. 11:34they ended up face to face and coming
  317. 11:36to blows. And if you want to know what
  318. 11:38I can't say here, what is actually
  319. 11:40being said, follow me on Twitter, the
  320. 11:41link is in the description. But wait,
  321. 11:44because the fight isn't the only thing
  322. 11:46keeping Mbappé in the eye of the storm
  323. 11:48. There is much more, and it’s all
  324. 11:50from the last few weeks. Let’s start
  325. 11:53from the beginning. September 25th.
  326. 11:55France plays in Turkey and loses 1-0,
  327. 11:58and Mbappé gets injured. He leaves the
  328. 12:00game with discomfort and the doubts
  329. 12:02begin: how long will he be out? The
  330. 12:05derby arrives, the Clásico arrives,
  331. 12:07and Madrid, without him, heads to the
  332. 12:09Metropolitano and loses the derby 2-1
  333. 12:11against Atlético, right before the
  334. 12:13break. And while Madrid is losing, what
  335. 12:16is Mbappé doing? According to the
  336. 12:18press, he's out at a nightclub, and not
  337. 12:21secretly. A night out that was anything
  338. 12:22but discreet. With everyone seeing him
  339. 12:25injured, his team losing the derby, and
  340. 12:28him partying, that hasn't sat well at
  341. 12:31all in the Madrid camp. And then the
  342. 12:34story, a story on a bicycle that many
  343. 12:36saw as a provocation; injured, not
  344. 12:38training with the team, and posting
  345. 12:41stories on a bike. And no one really
  346. 12:43knew what condition he was in.
  347. 12:45Seriously, neither the club, the fans,
  348. 12:48nor the press were sure. And what did
  349. 12:50Mourinho do? They say he sat down with
  350. 12:53him and scolded him. He asked him to be
  351. 12:56more discreet off the pitch, to stop
  352. 12:58making headlines, to focus—Mourinho,
  353. 13:00who has already had wars with half the
  354. 13:02locker room in every club he’s been
  355. 13:04at. Now it's his turn with Mbappé. And
  356. 13:09keep in mind that on Wednesday Mbappé
  357. 13:10returned to train with the group and
  358. 13:12they say his physical condition is
  359. 13:13perfect, that he is available for
  360. 13:15Saturday against Villarreal, and the
  361. 13:17club has come out to say that Mbappé
  362. 13:18is fine, that there is no controversy.
  363. 13:21That Mourinho will defend him at the
  364. 13:23press conference on Friday. No
  365. 13:25controversy, really? A player who goes
  366. 13:28to a nightclub while injured, posts
  367. 13:30provocative stories, gets scolded by
  368. 13:32his coach, and who, according to close
  369. 13:34sources, ends up shoving a teammate.
  370. 13:37And the club says there is no
  371. 13:39controversy. That is what Madrid always
  372. 13:41does: cover up, deny, and wait for it
  373. 13:44to pass. But this time it won't pass,
  374. 13:46because the most serious thing isn't
  375. 13:48the fight; the most serious thing is
  376. 13:50what comes next. And so you can see the
  377. 13:52level of chaos in Madrid, look at this.
  378. 13:55Lately, it’s been circulating on
  379. 13:56social media that Mbappé has demanded
  380. 13:5920%of the club to stay—20%of Real
  381. 14:01Madrid—and that Florentino would do
  382. 14:03anything to keep him. Let's be clear,
  383. 14:06that is false. Real Madrid belongs to
  384. 14:09its members; you cannot buy shares,
  385. 14:11it’s impossible. But the fact that
  386. 14:13there are Madrid fans who believed it
  387. 14:15says a lot about the moment that club
  388. 14:16is going through. When a fanbase
  389. 14:18believes anything about their star, it
  390. 14:20means they no longer know what to
  391. 14:22expect from him. And that brings us to
  392. 14:24the biggest thing, because there is a
  393. 14:25French journalist who is always ahead
  394. 14:27of the curve with everything regarding
  395. 14:28Mbappé. Whatever he says ends up
  396. 14:31happening, and that journalist has said
  397. 14:33this. One cannot rule out Mbappé
  398. 14:36leaving Real Madrid at the end of the
  399. 14:38season. Did you hear that correctly?
  400. 14:41Leaving Madrid at the end of this
  401. 14:43season. And not just that, he says that
  402. 14:45with each passing day he sees him
  403. 14:47closer to Arsenal with Thierry Henry as
  404. 14:49the link. Henry, the great Arsenal
  405. 14:51legend and one of the most influential
  406. 14:53Frenchmen in football. And think about
  407. 14:56it, because it makes all the sense in
  408. 14:58the world. In London, Mbappé would be
  409. 15:00the absolute king, without Bellingham,
  410. 15:02without anyone to overshadow him. A
  411. 15:06club that has been waiting years for a
  412. 15:08global star, a huge city, a Premier
  413. 15:09League that would give him the showcase
  414. 15:11he wants for the Ballon d'Or and
  415. 15:13without Florentino, without the
  416. 15:15pressure of the Bernabéu, without the
  417. 15:17whistles, and he drops a hint—let's
  418. 15:18remember how the deal with LoeĂłn, the
  419. 15:20Swiss brand, was handled. His signing
  420. 15:23with that brand was cooked up in
  421. 15:25silence. No one found out anything
  422. 15:27until it was done. What if it's the
  423. 15:29same with Arsenal? What if by the time
  424. 15:31we find out, it's all signed? And watch
  425. 15:34out, because in Madrid there are
  426. 15:35already people who would sign off on
  427. 15:36that. Madridistas who say the team
  428. 15:39doesn't work with Mbappé, that he
  429. 15:40plays alone, that he doesn't press,
  430. 15:42that since he arrived Madrid hasn't won
  431. 15:44the league, that Vinicius has lost his
  432. 15:46place, that Bellingham has lost his
  433. 15:47place. Imagine the landscape: the
  434. 15:51signing of the century, the one that
  435. 15:53was going to change the history of the
  436. 15:55club, and half his own fans wanting him
  437. 15:56to leave. That has never happened to a
  438. 15:59Galáctico—not to Figo, not to
  439. 16:01Ronaldo, not to Cristiano. And if
  440. 16:04Mbappé goes to Arsenal, what is left?
  441. 16:06A broken locker room, a Bellingham with
  442. 16:08half the Bernabéu against him, and a
  443. 16:10Florentino who would have to explain
  444. 16:11why he waited so many years for
  445. 16:13something that turned out like this.
  446. 16:15Think about it for a moment. Mbappé
  447. 16:17signed for Madrid to win the Ballon
  448. 16:19d'Or. He left Paris. He waited years.
  449. 16:22He turned down money, all to come to
  450. 16:24Madrid and be the best in the world.
  451. 16:26And what does he have now? A teammate
  452. 16:28who says publicly that someone else
  453. 16:30deserves the Ballon d'Or. A coach who
  454. 16:32scolds him, a club that doesn't defend
  455. 16:34his candidacy, and a locker room where
  456. 16:36it ends in shoving. That's what he came
  457. 16:39for, and here comes what he enjoys the
  458. 16:41most. Because when Mbappé arrived,
  459. 16:43they told us Barça was finished, that
  460. 16:45with Mbappé, Madrid was going to win
  461. 16:48everything for 10 years, that Barça
  462. 16:50wouldn't smell a league title. And what
  463. 16:52has happened? Two seasons, two leagues,
  464. 16:55both for Barça; zero Ballon d’Ors
  465. 16:57for Mbappé and now, trading blows with
  466. 17:00Bellingham, the signing of the century.
  467. 17:03That’s how it’s ended. And not only
  468. 17:05that, three finals against Barça since
  469. 17:07he arrived, all three lost; three
  470. 17:10finals, three times watching Barça
  471. 17:12lift the trophy. And now, while Barça
  472. 17:15keeps doing their thing, he's shoving
  473. 17:17people in training, and while we rack
  474. 17:19up titles, they rack up fights. And to
  475. 17:22think Mbappé was supposed to be the
  476. 17:23guy to take our spot, the one who was
  477. 17:25going to dominate the decade. The
  478. 17:28decade is being dominated by someone
  479. 17:30else, he wears the number 10 for Barça
  480. 17:32, and his name is Lamine. But let's
  481. 17:34move on to the question everyone in
  482. 17:36Madrid is asking. So, what does
  483. 17:38Florentino do now? Because Florentino
  484. 17:40is trapped. He’s got his number five
  485. 17:42and his number 10 who can’t even
  486. 17:44stand each other, and both are his
  487. 17:45signings. Both are his bets. His
  488. 17:48project, his legacy. If he sells
  489. 17:50Bellingham, he admits he was wrong
  490. 17:52about him. If he lets Mbappé go, he
  491. 17:54admits the signing of the century has
  492. 17:56been a failure, and if he does nothing,
  493. 17:59the locker room remains broken, just
  494. 18:01like with Tchouaméni and Valverde; he
  495. 18:03didn't sell anyone then, and look how
  496. 18:05that ended. There is no good way out,
  497. 18:07none at all. And this has happened to
  498. 18:09Florentino before. Remember the era of
  499. 18:12the first Galácticos: Zidane, Figo,
  500. 18:15Ronaldo, Beckham—the best team in the
  501. 18:17world on paper. And what happened? The
  502. 18:21locker room broke down, everyone went
  503. 18:23their own way, they stopped winning,
  504. 18:25and Florentino ended up resigning in
  505. 18:272006, saying that famous line about how
  506. 18:29he had spoiled the players. 20 years
  507. 18:33later, the same movie: stars who can't
  508. 18:35stand each other, a divided locker room
  509. 18:37, and Florentino watching without
  510. 18:39knowing what to do. History repeats
  511. 18:42itself, and Florentino has learned
  512. 18:44nothing. And Mourinho—Mourinho
  513. 18:47arrived to bring order, to be the
  514. 18:49sergeant, to end the factions. And
  515. 18:52three months later, the locker room is
  516. 18:54worse than ever. It’s not just
  517. 18:56factions anymore; now it’s punches.
  518. 18:58And watch out, because Mourinho and
  519. 19:00star players have history—a lot of
  520. 19:02history. In his first stint at Madrid,
  521. 19:05he ended up at war with Casillas; he
  522. 19:07benched him—the captain, the saint,
  523. 19:09to the bench—and with Ramos, it was
  524. 19:11much the same. That locker room ended
  525. 19:14up split in two: those for Mourinho and
  526. 19:16those for Casillas. And at Manchester
  527. 19:19United, the war was with Pogba; he
  528. 19:20stripped him of the captaincy in front
  529. 19:22of everyone, and that ended with
  530. 19:24Mourinho getting fired. So, Mourinho
  531. 19:26already knows what a broken locker room
  532. 19:28is like. He has lived through a few,
  533. 19:30and it has almost always ended the same
  534. 19:32way. Him, out. The same thing is going
  535. 19:34to happen now because if Mourinho picks
  536. 19:36a side, the other side is going to turn
  537. 19:38on him. And at Madrid, when the players
  538. 19:41turn on a coach, the coach ends up
  539. 19:44leaving. Just ask Xabi Alonso. And
  540. 19:48Mourinho, who has a reputation for
  541. 19:50winning wars against his own stars, has
  542. 19:52a problem because this war isn't with
  543. 19:53one player, it's with two, and they are
  544. 19:55the two who carry the most weight. And
  545. 19:59he has a press conference on Friday,
  546. 20:01and they are going to ask him—of
  547. 20:02course they are going to ask him—what
  548. 20:03is he going to say? I’ll bet whatever
  549. 20:06you want that he says something like "
  550. 20:08In my locker room, nothing is happening
  551. 20:10, it's just football," or he gets angry
  552. 20:12at the journalist, which is what
  553. 20:14Mourinho does when he doesn't want to
  554. 20:16answer. But there is one thing he won't
  555. 20:18be able to hide: Saturday's lineup. If
  556. 20:21Bellingham and Mbappé start together,
  557. 20:23watch every pass between them. If one
  558. 20:26of the two stays on the bench, you’ll
  559. 20:28know why. If he takes Mbappé's side,
  560. 20:31he loses Bellingham. If he takes
  561. 20:33Bellingham's side, he loses Mbappé.
  562. 20:35And if he doesn't take either side, he
  563. 20:37loses the locker room. You’ll see
  564. 20:39what he says at Friday's press
  565. 20:40conference. You’ll see how he dodges
  566. 20:42it. And now look at the schedule ahead,
  567. 20:45because it couldn't come at a worse
  568. 20:47time. Saturday, Villarreal at the
  569. 20:50Bernabéu, Wednesday in Rome for the
  570. 20:52Champions League, then Sevilla, then
  571. 20:55Leipzig, and October 25th, the Clásico
  572. 20:58. At Barça’s home, 17 days, 17 to
  573. 21:01fix a locker room where their 5 and
  574. 21:03their 10 have come to blows. Can you
  575. 21:06imagine the atmosphere on the bus? Can
  576. 21:08you imagine the two of them in the same
  577. 21:09photo before the match? Can you imagine
  578. 21:11Bellingham giving a goal-scoring pass
  579. 21:13to Mbappé in the Clásico? I can't;
  580. 21:16honestly, I don't see it. Culés. I’m
  581. 21:19asking you how we arrive at the
  582. 21:21Clásico, how do you see it? I’m
  583. 21:23reading your comments, because while
  584. 21:25they're fighting in Madrid, the exact
  585. 21:26opposite is happening at Barça. Lamine
  586. 21:28celebrates Raphinha’s goals. Raphinha
  587. 21:31celebrates Lamine’s. Pedri hugs
  588. 21:34everyone. At Barça, they fight over
  589. 21:36who gets to give the assist. At Madrid,
  590. 21:38they fight over the Ballon d'Or. That
  591. 21:41is the difference. And that difference
  592. 21:43shows on the field. Because a team that
  593. 21:45loves each other plays for their
  594. 21:47teammate, and a team where two stars
  595. 21:48don't speak plays for themselves. And
  596. 21:50in a Clásico, you pay the price for
  597. 21:52that. It comes at a high price. And
  598. 21:54look at the state of the Barça locker
  599. 21:56room. Flick has built a group where
  600. 21:58nobody is above anyone else. Whoever is
  601. 22:00late to the bench, it doesn't matter
  602. 22:02what their name is. Whoever doesn't
  603. 22:04defend, doesn't play. It doesn't matter
  604. 22:06what it costs. And the players accept
  605. 22:08it because they see it works, because
  606. 22:10they win. And Lamine, who could be the
  607. 22:13most arrogant person in the world with
  608. 22:14what he's achieved so young, is the
  609. 22:16first to run and hug the one who scores
  610. 22:18. That is the atmosphere. Now compare
  611. 22:21that to Madrid. A player who goes out
  612. 22:23partying while injured, another who
  613. 22:25supports a rival for the Ballon d'Or,
  614. 22:27the two of them shoving each other, a
  615. 22:29locker room that has gotten three
  616. 22:30coaches fired and hasn't changed one
  617. 22:32bit. That's why I'm arriving at the
  618. 22:35Clásico calm, very calm, because big
  619. 22:37games are won by teams that love each
  620. 22:39other and right now, the one that loves
  621. 22:41each other is Barça. And mind you, I'm
  622. 22:44not the only one saying this, half of
  623. 22:46Madrid has been saying it these past
  624. 22:48few days, that the problem isn't the
  625. 22:49coach, it's the locker room. First Xabi
  626. 22:53Alonso left, then Arbeloa, and now
  627. 22:55Mourinho can't do it either. Do you
  628. 22:58know what they all have in common? That
  629. 23:00the players are still the same. When
  630. 23:03you change coaches three times and the
  631. 23:05problem persists, the problem isn't the
  632. 23:07coach, the problem is inside and it has
  633. 23:09names. And now let's talk about the
  634. 23:12double standard, which I can't stay
  635. 23:13silent about. Imagine if this happened
  636. 23:15at Barça. Imagine if the radio
  637. 23:18reported that Lamine and Raphinha came
  638. 23:21to blows in training. What would happen
  639. 23:23? It would be on the cover of every
  640. 23:25newspaper in Madrid. El Chiringuito
  641. 23:27would spend the whole week talking
  642. 23:29about a crisis, a broken locker room,
  643. 23:30that Flick isn't in control of anything
  644. 23:32, asking for Laporta's head, saying the
  645. 23:35project is over; but it happens at
  646. 23:36Madrid and the club says there's no
  647. 23:38controversy at all. And in Madrid, no
  648. 23:41one asks, no one insists, no one leads
  649. 23:43with it, always the same. What happens
  650. 23:46at Barça is a national drama, what
  651. 23:48happens at Madrid is an unimportant
  652. 23:50detail. And not only that, imagine if a
  653. 23:53Barça player went clubbing while
  654. 23:55injured and posted stories on a bike.
  655. 23:58They'd spend a week on the subject,
  656. 23:59saying the club has no control, that
  657. 24:01you can't win anything that way, but
  658. 24:03Mbappé does it and it's his private
  659. 24:05life. Mbappé does it and there's no
  660. 24:07controversy. And then they're surprised
  661. 24:09that we're suspicious. Then they say
  662. 24:11we're crybabies, but there's one thing
  663. 24:13they can't cover up: what happens on
  664. 24:15the pitch on October 25th. There's no
  665. 24:17controversy there. There’s no
  666. 24:19controversy there. Everything is
  667. 24:21visible there. And if Bellingham and
  668. 24:23Mbappé can't even look at each other,
  669. 24:25it will show in every pass they don't
  670. 24:27make, in every play they don't look for
  671. 24:29each other. And we’re going to enjoy
  672. 24:32it because we’ve spent years hearing
  673. 24:34that Mbappé would be the end of Barça
  674. 24:36, that Madrid’s Galácticos would
  675. 24:38steamroll us, and look how they’re
  676. 24:39arriving. Their number 10 injured and
  677. 24:42partying, their number five supporting
  678. 24:44someone else for the Ballon d'Or, and
  679. 24:46the two of them shoving each other at
  680. 24:48Madrid's training ground. That’s how
  681. 24:50Madrid arrives at the Clásico. And now
  682. 24:51I return to the initial question. Why
  683. 24:53did two Madrid stars come to blows?
  684. 24:56Because of a legendary phrase: "Nobody
  685. 24:58deserves it more." Because of the
  686. 25:00Ballon d'Or, because of an Mbappé who
  687. 25:02feels lonely and a Bellingham who has
  688. 25:04no intention of sucking up to him, and
  689. 25:06because of a locker room that’s been
  690. 25:07broken since the Xabi Alonso era, which
  691. 25:09no one fixed, which no one wanted to
  692. 25:11clean up. First it was Tchouaméni
  693. 25:13against Valverde, now according to
  694. 25:15close sources, Bellingham against
  695. 25:17Mbappé. Who will be next? Because with
  696. 25:20this locker room, I’m telling you now
  697. 25:22, there will be more. And watch out, to
  698. 25:24be fair, the club hasn't confirmed it.
  699. 25:27And they won't confirm it, of course;
  700. 25:29they never do. But look at the dates.
  701. 25:32The comment to Vinícius, the Mbappé
  702. 25:34who feels lonely. Reports saying two
  703. 25:37players came to blows, all in the same
  704. 25:39few days, and all with the same two
  705. 25:42protagonists. When the pieces fit
  706. 25:44together this well, it’s very hard to
  707. 25:46think it’s a coincidence. Very hard.
  708. 25:50And if the club wants to deny it, let
  709. 25:51both of them come out together on
  710. 25:53Friday, hugging in front of the cameras
  711. 25:54. Let’s see if they dare. Draw your
  712. 25:57own conclusions. I’ve already drawn
  713. 25:59mine, and I think any Culé who has
  714. 26:01been watching football for years has,
  715. 26:03too. And now it’s your turn for three
  716. 26:06questions. The first: Bellingham or
  717. 26:09Mbappé? Who are you taking? The second
  718. 26:11: Do you think Mbappé leaves Madrid
  719. 26:14next summer for Arsenal with Henry? And
  720. 26:17the third: How does Madrid arrive at
  721. 26:19the Clásico after all this? I’m
  722. 26:20reading all your comments, the Culés
  723. 26:22and the Madridistas, who I know will
  724. 26:24show up today to defend one of the two.
  725. 26:26If you liked the video, hit like and
  726. 26:28subscribe, because here we tell you
