Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti has responded to claims that Rodrygo is jealous of Kylian Mbappe, Jude Bellingham and Vinicius grabbing all the headlines.
Mbappe joined Los Blancos on a free transfer from Paris Saint-Germain, where is joining up with Bellingham and Vinicius, who are favourites for the Ballon d'Or.
Rodrygo has spoken about his efforts needing to get more eyes after the arrival of Mbappe, feulling rumours that there is tension in the attack.

However, Ancelotti says that while that could happen, he would be able to notice it straight away,.
"Of course, if it happens [jealousy], I'll detect it, but right now I don't think so. There's a very good and healthy atmosphere in the dressing room. There are players who will have more responsibility, like Vinicius, Rodrygo, the youngsters, who are not so young anymore," Ancelotti said, as per Goal.
"For him, it is a motivation to compare himself with these players [Vinicius, Mbappé, Bellingham]. For me, he is as important as the others. He doesn't tell me that he has a problem, he has never talked to me about this.
"He was not valued in the Ballon d'Or selection. He deserved to be in the top 30 without a doubt. I understand that he is upset.
"Someone has forgotten what he did in the Champions League, scoring against City and being important. It is a virtue that he is a wild card, that he can play in many positions and always do well."
