Real Madrid stars Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe ruthlessly booed by Liverpool supporters – and fans think they know why
Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappe were the subject of boos at Anfield every time they touched the ball early in the game. Fans have only just worked out why that might be the case as Real Madrid played Liverpool. Bellingham and Mbappe were booed by the Liverpool fansGetty It seems as though Reds fans are unhappy with Bellingham and Mbappe… because they did not sign for the club. Though they would have probably forgotten about it as goals from Alexis Mac Allister and Cody Gakpo gave Liverpool a 2-0 win. Both had been heavily linked with a move to Anfield during their young careers. One fan wrote on X: “Liverpool fans booing Bellingham and Mbappe because they didn’t sign for them. Dear me.” Another added: “Liverpool fans booing Mbappe and Bellingham everytime they touch the ball…they didn’t force you to read articles.” A third said: “Liverpool fans booing Bellingham and Mbappe because they couldn’t afford to sign them.” England star Bellingham admitted he held talks with Liverpool in 2023 before completing a £113m move from Borussia Dortmund to Madrid. “I think it probably wasn’t as close as a lot of the media made out,” Bellingham admitted. “I had conversations with a few clubs on leaving Borussia Dortmund, when I made that decision they gave me permission to speak to a few clubs. “One thing I have to say is that all the clubs I spoke to were very respectful of me and my family, which for me is a huge value and something I really respected. “I don’t want to say anything that is disrespectful to them but when Real Madrid come knocking it shakes the whole house. Bellingham admitted he was not as close to joining Liverpool as it was once thoughtGetty “It is one that is hard not to accept, it is not a matter of the other teams not being good or bad when I spoke to them, it is just that Real Madrid are on another level.” Liverpool almost landed Mbappe as an 18-year-old from Monaco in 2017 when he held talks with their former manager Jurgen Klopp. However, the player’s preference to remain in his homeland saw boyhood club Paris Saint-Germain win the race for his signature. Liverpool also nearly signed him in 2022, before the club signed Darwin Nunez instead.
