Jude Bellingham reportedly got involved in a bust-up with Antonio Rudiger in training ahead of Real Madrid’s second-leg clash against Arsenal in the quarter final of the UEFA Champions League at the Santiago Bernabeu.
Carlo Ancelotti’s team have a mountain to climb if they want to maintain any chance of retaining their European cup title.
Declan Rice scored two incredible free kicks and Mikel Merino added a third to give Arsenal a 3-0 victory in north London last week. This outcome will put even Real Madrid’s renowned comeback prowess to the test.
Even though Kylian Mbappe was sent off for a terrible challenge in the first half, the Spanish powerhouses defeated Alaves 1-0 over the weekend to get ready for their matchup with the Gunners.

According to reports in Spain, Bellingham and Rudiger got into an intense dispute during training before that La Liga match, requiring their teammates to intervene.
According to El Chiringuito as claimed by The Evening Standard, Bellingham reacted angrily to Rudiger’s poor tackle, and the small-sided match was stopped as the two were pulled away.
However, it was not thought to be a serious event, and both are anticipated to start on Wednesday night at the Bernabeu.
Speaking after the first leg, Bellingham conceded that Los Blancos were rightly defeated but believed a “crazy” turnaround was still conceivable.
“We were nowhere near it,” the midfielder said. “That’s the fact and Arsenal were really good.
“I know two of their goals were free-kicks, but they could have had way more.
“There is a second leg, and that’s what we’re holding on to. We need something really special, something crazy really but one place where crazy things happen is our house.”
