Real Madrid superstar might be ‘annoyed’ by club’s backing of Mbappe for Ballon d’Or – report

Real Madrid, who failed to secure any trophies during the previous season, are not aggressively campaigning for Kylian Mbappe to win the Ballon d’Or. The club’s lack of success has made it difficult for them to support such a campaign. On the other hand, Kylian Mbappe has been actively promoting himself as a leading contender for the award, having been the top scorer in numerous top-tier competitions.

However, the issue of winning a trophy remains the most significant obstacle. In recent reports, a source close to a player with strong connections to both Mbappe and Vinicius Jr. claims that the Brazilian star might be displeased with Real Madrid’s endorsement of Mbappe for the Ballon d’Or. It is unclear whether the club’s limited public support is influenced by the Brazilian star’s discontent, but the existence of internal politics within the team is evident.

The report highlights a divide between Mbappe and Vinicius Jr., further suggesting a potential rift in the dressing room. The club's ongoing struggles and their distant progress from their best state emphasize the urgent need for the team to set aside personal rivalries and work together towards improving their performance.
