Zinedine Zidane would have done well without this blunder.
Barely comforted by his victory in the Clasico, the Madrid coach experienced a complicated meeting in Germany on Tuesday evening.
He pulled off an unexpected draw (2-2) against Borussia Mönchengladbach in the Champions League.
But above all, he must now manage a "quarrel" between teammates spread out in the public square.
His protégé Karim Benzema, spearhead of the Real Madrid attack, was filmed in the hallway of the stadium asking his French teammate Ferland Mendy not to pass any more to Brazilian Vinicius Junior.
“Brother, don't play with him!
"
The scene was captured by Telefoot cameras.
We see the two men exchanging before the start of the second half.
" He does what he wants.
Brother, don't play with him!
My mother's life.
He is playing against us, “loose the French striker, visibly upset against the performance of the 20-year-old winger.

At that time, the Madrilenians lost to everyone's surprise (1-0) against the German club.
The two teams ended the match in a draw (2-2), with a goal from Benzema in the 87th minute and another from Casemiro in added time.
Vinicius Junior had given up his place to Eden Hazard twenty minutes earlier ...
The video of this hallway discussion has in any case gone viral on social networks.
Benzema has not reacted yet, neither has the club.
