Real Madrid star Aurelien Tchouameni reveals the two players he and Jude Bellingham were REALLY talking about in viral video… and it’s NOT Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland!

Real Madrid midfielder Aurélien Tchouameni has revealed the truth behind his heated debate with teammate Jude Bellingham which recently went viral on social media.

A video was posted online earlier this month showing the two Madrid players discussing the qualities of two players, with Bellingham saying “he’s better than your boy”, before Tchouameni mocked his claims by replying “no brother , please, please, please, please!”

Some fans have hastily concluded that they may be trying to settle the debate over whether Kylian Mbappe or Erling Haaland is currently the best player in the world. Bellingham and Haaland played together at Borussia Dortmund for two years between 2020 and 2022, while Tchouameni and Mbappe are international teammates with France.

However, Tchouameni insisted that was not the case and revealed the two players they were actually talking about.

“We weren’t talking about Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland. We were talking about Eric Dier and Dayot Upamecano,” Tchouameni said. RMC Sport.

Tchouameni revealed that they were actually talking about Eric Dier and Dayot Upamecano

“Jude was talking about Dier and I was talking about Dayot. It will sell less but it’s the truth.

Dier and Upamecano both now play for Bayern Munich following the Englishman’s move to Germany in January.

Dier has made an impressive start to life in the Bundesliga, with his loan from Tottenham set to become permanent this summer.

There was speculation he could return to the England fold this month ahead of this summer’s Euros, and Bellingham appears to think he might have had a case, but Gareth Southgate chose to resist the temptation to recall Dier.

Tchouameni was defending his fellow Frenchman by backing Upamecano, and he admitted he also rates Mbappe above Haaland in football’s last great debate, with the pair of forwards looking set to dominate in the post-Cristiano Ronaldo era and Lionel Messi.

“I prefer Mbappé. Haaland is a great player, but I prefer Mbappé,” he added.

Tchouameni revealed he preferred Mbappé over Haaland, and the two Frenchmen could soon play together at Real Madrid.

Mbappe and Tchouameni could soon also play together for Madrid, with the former having already agreed to join the Spanish giants this summer when his contract with PSG expires.

There is also a small chance they could team up to play for France at the Paris Olympics later this year, with Les Bleus legend Thierry Henry as the team’s coach.

Tchouameni insists he is yet to speak to Mbappe about his immediate future, with the PSG striker set to make important decisions regarding his club and country commitments in the coming months.

“I can’t say if he talks more about Real Madrid or the Olympics, because I haven’t spoken to him about it yet,” Tchouameni said.
