Real Madrid pair separated by teammates after heated altercation in training

Two leading members of the first-team ranks at La Liga giants Real Madrid were involved in a heated spat in training late last week.

That’s according to El Chiringuito TV, who point towards Jude Bellingham and Antonio Rüdiger as the pair in question.

Real Madrid are of course currently in the midst of what has been a hugely challenging last week or so.

Though Los Blancos managed a narrow victory at Deportivo Alavés over the weekend, this result was preceded by damaging back-to-back defeats at the hands of Valencia and Arsenal.

And fresh off as much, tensions, it would appear, boiled over at Valdebebas.

As per a report from Edu Aguirre of El Chiringuito TV, during a training session in Spain’s capital last Friday, Jude Bellingham and Antonio Rüdiger were separated by a group of teammates.

This came after a heavy challenge culminated in an angry back-and-forth between the pair, featuring a string of insults.

In the end, the Blancos stars shook hands, but the incident only served in further highlighting the level of tension in Carlo Ancelotti’s squad at present.
