Real Madrid star Rodrygo has a falling out with some of his teammates and has requested not to play for the squad again in this weekend’s El Clasico against fierce rival FC Barcelona.

Because of his crucial goals in the Champions League, which saw him win the legendary big-eared trophy in 2022 and 2024, the Santos academy product was once a Madrid hero.
Madrid supporters criticized Rodrygo last season for seeming to praise Pep Guardiola’s team and displaying a slight inferiority complex just before a matchup in the competition’s quarterfinals.
A year later, things are much more dire because Rodrygo is apparently thinking about leaving and feels that he will never play for the likely soon-to-be dethroned Spanish champions again.
Rodrygo reportedly “feels displaced” in the capital due to Jude Bellingham’s “media explosion” and Mbappe’s arrival, “which has generated a rift with Vinicius.”
Rodrygo did not play in Sunday’s 4-3 loss to Barca in El Clasico, and the fact that Arda Guler started in his place on the right wing and young Victor Munoz replaced the Turk at the last second in Montjuic only served to highlight how out of the picture he is, reports Forbes.
