Kylian Mbappe and Vinicius Junior are said to have a complicated relationship on the pitch, despite getting on well away from football.
The assessment comes from a source who has good relationships with both Real Madrid players, according to The Athletic journalist Mario Cortegana.
Rumours have suggested that relations between Mbappe and Vinicius are far from perfect. However, the source believes the tension is limited to their performances together on the field and does not reflect their relationship off it.
The same source also indicated that Vinicius is unhappy with Real Madrid’s support for Mbappe’s candidacy for the Ballon d’Or.
The award will be presented on 26 October.
