Kylian Mbappe has sensationally claimed he was told he is now Real Madrid’s “fourth-choice striker” after being benched in the club’s win over Real Oviedo. The French superstar returned from injury as a substitute at the Bernabeu, where sections of supporters whistled the forward amid growing frustration over his recent performances and commitment. Mbappe insisted boss Alvaro Arbeloa informed him he was behind Vinicius Jr, Gonzalo Garcia and Franco Mastantuono in the pecking order, comments the Real Madrid manager immediately denied after the match. Arbeloa claimed Mbappe had “misunderstood” the conversation, while the forward vowed to “work hard” to regain his starting place as pressure continues to grow in the Spanish capital. #mbappe #realmadrid #alvaroarbeloa #soccer #football
