REAL MADRID midfielder Aurelien Tchouameni has revealed what he and Jude Bellingham were arguing about during a viral debate.
Earlier this week, a video of the two Los Blancos stars locked in a dressing room debate went viral on social media.
Many fans believed they were discussing Kylian Mbappe and Erling Haaland, with the names of each player bleeped out.
Bellingham could be heard saying: “He’s an unbelievable guy,” before Tchouameni responded: “We don’t care.”
The England international then said: “He’s better than your boy.”
However, his Real Madrid team-mate hit back, replying: “No brother, no. Please. Please. Please.”

While many fans were initially convinced the discussion centred around the two best forwards in the world, Tchouameni has confirmed that it was actually about Bayern Munich stars Dayot Upamecano and Eric Dier.
The Frenchman said: “We have to set the record straight because as soon as I arrived in the selection, that was the first question I was asked.
“We weren’t talking about Kylian and we weren’t talking about Erling.
“We were talking about Dayot (Upamecano) and Dier.

“Why? Because it was the day before our Champions League match and we were watching Bayern-Lazio if I’m not mistaken. I think it was Bayern-Lazio in the Champions League, yes that’s it.
“And so in fact Jude (Bellingham) was talking about Dier and I was talking about Dayot. So today we are going to re-establish the truth. I know it will sell less but that is what happened.”
Tchouameni went on to admit that he thinks Mbappe is the better player.
He continued: “The strongest and most complete? So…I’m going to say Kylian for everything.
“I prefer Kylian. Afterwards, Erling Haaland is also one of the best players in the world and everyone can have their opinion.”
Mbappe has been heavily linked with a move to Real Madrid ahead of the summer transfer window.
The forward is set to leave Paris Saint-Germain when his contract expires at the end of the season.
