Footage of Jude Bellingham telling Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Jr where they went wrong against Mallorca has been shared online following Real Madrid’s disappointing 1-1 draw on Sunday.

Rodrygo, who had joined Madrid’s star trio after the match, put Real Madrid ahead in the 13th minute, with Mallorca equalising shortly after half-time through Vedat Muriqi.

Despite chasing a winner, Los Blancos struggled to break the home side and were reduced to ten men in injury time after Ferland Mendy was ordered to play.

Mbappé’s summer move to Real Madrid raised a major question: how would he fit in with Carlo Ancelotti’s trio of superstars of Bellingham, Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo? Especially since the French icon had previously fallen out with Paris Saint-Germain’s managers after being forced to play in midfield.

Bellingham, who flourished as a No.10 at the Bernabeu last season, may need to move deeper this season to accommodate the attacking force in front of him.

In a post-game conversation with his teammates, Bellingham told the trio to finish the offense by shooting on the spot instead of losing the ball, otherwise he would be forced to run back in transition to help the defense.

In the post-match exchange, captured by Movistar, the England international said: ‘You three, we have to finish the attack because the running back… is f***ing hard.’

Mbappe agreed with his new team-mate, adding: ‘That’s what I’m saying. We have to finish somewhere.’

Bellingham added: “Yeah, even… make a garden and (shoot).”

Mallorca scored the goal after the home side took advantage of Madrid losing possession, taking the lead and winning a corner, which eventually resulted in Muriqi heading past Thibaut Courtois.

Speaking about the team’s balance after the match, Ancelotti said: ‘Balance is found when players think the same when they have to win the ball back. We all have to go together.

“Everyone can think that it is a problem for the attackers, but it can also be a problem for the defenders or the midfielders. They did not understand that this was a very important aspect. Mallorca played a great game and were better than us.”

The surprise draw leaves Real Madrid in 12th place in LaLiga after the opening weekend, while arch-rivals Barcelona opened the season with a 2-1 win over Valencia.

Robert Lewandowski scored twice to turn the tide after Valencia had taken the lead through Hugo Duro in the 44th minute.
