LaLiga: Capello blames Mbappe for Real Madrid duo’s struggles

Former Real Madrid manager, Fabio Capello has claimed that Vinicius and Jude Bellingham have struggled this season because of the addition of Kylian Mbappe to the Los Blancos squad.

Recall that Mbappe joined Real Madrid as a free agent last summer after leaving Paris Saint-Germain.

The Frenchman has been impressive for Madrid so far this season, scoring 39 goals in all competitions.

Speaking in an interview with COPE, Capello insisted that Real Madrid players don’t help each other again.

“With Mbappe’s arrival, Vinicius and Bellingham found themselves competing physically, technically, and positionally,” Capello said (via Madrid Universal).

“They didn’t help each other. It’s been a difficult year because with Mbappe we had to change the system, and then came all the absences in defence.”

Meanwhile, Real are set to miss out on the LaLiga title to Barcelona, who currently sit on top of the league table.
