Jude Bellingham was caught on camera delivering an X-rated message to Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Jr and Rodrygo as Real Madrid drew 1-1 with Mallorca on Sunday night.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side had gone into the game expected to cruise to victory given the vast talent they have at their disposal.
Yet Real ended up drawing 1-1, with Rodrygo’s goal in the 13th minute cancelled out by Vedat Muriqi in the second half.
With Los Blancos struggling to click, Bellingham was caught on camera delivering a tense team talk at half time.

The 21-year-old was overheard saying: “You three, we need to finish the attack because the running back is f*****g hard.”
Mbappe, who was making his second appearance for Real since his arrival from PSG back in the summer, said: “That’s what I’m saying. We have to finish with something.”
Bellingham added: “Yeah, even create a yard and shoot.”
Though the former Birmingham and Borussia Dortmund star is still young, he’s clearly a leader out in Spain.

Bellingham was outstanding as Real won LaLiga and the Champions League last term, scoring 23 goals from 42 appearances across all competitions.
Yet it could take some time to click with Mbappe, as Sunday’s patchy performance showed.
Ancelotti is usually a cool customer who doesn’t like to criticise his players.
But the Italian broke rank on Sunday and said his side needed more ‘balance’ as they look to win LaLiga for the second year in a row.

“It wasn’t a good game,” he said. “We need more balance.
“We’ve already said it before, we are very offensive but balance is fundamental.”
Ancelotti also said Real must work as a team more, saying: “When we win the ball back, we have to think about it all together.
“You may think that it is the problem of the striker, but it may be the problem of the defence, or of the midfielders.

“It is not a problem of one, two or three. It is a problem of a team that in this match did not understand it was a key aspect.
“Mallorca played a great game defensively, better than us. The draw is [the] correct [score].
“Last year I was happy with some draws, but not today.
“We could have done much better. I don’t want to make excuses. We just had to do better, with more attitude. You can learn from these matches. It is clear where the problem lies.”
