Los Blancos have started the defence of their UEFA Champions League title in impressive fashion, defeating Stuttgart 3-1 in their competition opener at the Santiago Bernabeu on Tuesday night.
Inside the first 30 seconds after half-time, Rodrygo assisted Mbappe who opened the scoring, before Antonio Rudiger and Endrick completed the victory for the Spanish giants late on.
There has been speculation in recent weeks that there are simmering tensions among the club's star-studded front line, especially between their newest French superstar and Vinicius, tensions which were believed to have arisen due to penalty responsibilities.
There has also been rumours that Rodrygo is unhappy because he feels underappreciated despite his contributions.
However, Bellingham has insisted there is nothing but harmony among the young superstars, and that they are all friends on and off the pitch.
"I saw on social media that they are trying to create something negative between me, Mbappe, Rodrygo and Vinicius. The only truth is that we are very good friends on and off the pitch," the Englishman said after the match against Stuttgart, as per Goal.
Mbappe's arrival in particular seems to have unbalanced the Los Merengues attack in the early part of the season, but the England international has praised the Bondy native's contributions for the club so far.
"It's what he does, I'm not surprised at all," Bellingham added.
"I didn't even realise it was his debut, I just thought it was another game he would score in.

"He always delivers so far, it's a lot of pressure coming to a club like Madrid, but he's taken to it really easily and the lads love him already. He's going to be a huge player for us, this season and beyond."
