Caught: Bellingham, Straight for Maffeo, Told Him to His Face and Left Him Stunned

Real Madrid managed to eliminate Mallorca in the semifinals of the Spanish Supercopa in Arabia. They did it with a 3-0 victory that came in the second half, while giving a good performance. In fact, the vermillions barely threatened the goal defended by Thibaut Courtois.

However, it's clear that the main protagonists of the duel were going to be Maffeo and Vinícius due to their ongoing rivalry. In fact, Mallorca's winger took it upon himself to heat up the atmosphere a few days before. He even claimed that he would knock out Vinícius "in 10 seconds" at Ibai Llanos's event.

He was that confident about whether he would win in a ring fight, but Bellingham didn't let it slide. Maffeo had said it on a podcast without Vini in front of him. Jude had no qualms about going straight to him and saying it to his face during the game.

"10 seconds, right? 10 seconds boxing," the English player said to him, referring to his words. He didn't do it through social media or a podcast; he wanted to say it directly. Although this time, Maffeo was left speechless, not knowing what to say.

Maffeo sought Vinícius in an unsportsmanlike manner but Madrid has him figured out

Maffeo's objective in the semifinal match against Real Madrid was to target Vinícius in an unsportsmanlike way. He was clear that he couldn't match him in soccer, so he tried another approach. All this happened with the referees' permissiveness, who didn't want to stop him.

Mallorca's full-back told Vini to be quiet, kicked him without the ball, and simulated an aggression. All this happened when we had barely reached the first 20 minutes of the match. However, the Brazilian didn't want to engage in his game and preferred to focus on soccer and securing the pass to the final.

In fact, at the end of the match, Tchouaméni made it clear that they already have him figured out in the locker room. In the mixed zone, he stated that "we don't want to talk about this guy because that's what he wants." Whenever he faces Madrid, he has some interview to talk.
