One of Real Madrid's most important stars has now reportedly ruffled feathers at the club ahead of the UEFA Champions League final on Saturday.
The Spanish giants will be looking to claim a record-extending 15th Champions League title when they face off against Borussia Dortmund at Wembley Stadium in London this weekend.
There has been a good atmosphere at the LALIGA club in recent weeks, with the team having recently celebrated winning the 2023/24 Spanish top-flight title, which is their second trophy this term after they won the Spanish Super Cup earlier this season.
While the opportunity to claim a treble remains in the cards, Real are now said to be disgruntled with one of their players ahead of the UCL final.

According to The Athletic, Los Blancos officials are unhappy with recent comments made by forward Rodrygo this week.
The Brazilian star was asked about his future, to which he told DAZN: "Anything can happen. I have a contract here, but the years I've been here have been a pleasure for me."
These remarks appeared to suggest that the player was not entirely settled in Madrid, which frustrated some members of the club's hierarchy, especially with the comments coming ahead of a crucial final for the team.
Rodrygo's entourage have since shut down speculation over the attacker's future, but the damage behind the scenes has reportedly already been done.
Further reports suggest that his remarks could be based on the planned arrivals of Endrick and Kylian Mbappe ahead of next season, which could see the 23-year-old's game time being significantly reduced.
Nevertheless, it remains unclear whether or not Rodrygo's actions will cost him a place in the final on Saturday, although other reports suggest that there is one player who will almost certainly miss the big clash.
According to The Sun, goalkeeper Andriy Lunin could miss the match after coming down with flu earlier this week.
As a result, the Ukrainian will be heading to London on Thursday by himself, and not travel with the team.
