WATCH: Tell us how you really feel Jude Bellingham? The England star reacts angrily to Kylian Mbappe's mistake
Real Madrid fell to a fifth defeat of the season against Athletic Club on Wednesday night, and it was once again another dismal performance from Kylian Mbappéwho missed a second penalty in eight days at San Mames. Patience with the French striker is running out.
No less than his teammates. Jude Bellingham he did everything he could to drag the Blancos back into it in Bilbao, scoring the equaliser, and breaking a gut for the cause. He took a late booking for dissent, another sign of his frustration.
That was also in clear evidence, when Mbappe tried to take Dani Vivian on the left side of the box, but was muscled out of the ball for a goal. After that action, Bellingham was gesticulating furiously and apparently cursing, with an accusing look back at the Frenchman.

It's only natural that tensions run high during games even among teammates, although Bellingham has a history of being incredibly demanding of his teammates. Again, this is not unusual for top players. Those demands, both from themselves and their teammates, can push them forward, but they can also cause friction.
