What happened 

The club's players, fans, and surroundings have had to psyche themselves up ahead of the big game at Santiago Bernabeu tomorrow, with posts on social media and reported training ground motivational speeches. 

According to the Daily Star tensions were high some days ago, with Bellingham having reacted brashly to a tackle in training from his German teammate, Rudiger. 

The two were said to have had a training ground bust-up, before they were separated by teammates. The incident occurred before their LALIGA victory against Alaves on Sunday, a match in which Kylian Mbappe was sent off for a horrific tackle on Antonio Blanco, underscoring the high emotions in the camp.
