Samuel Umtiti criticizes Real Madrid after 2-1 win over Inter Milan: 'This trio of superstars are selfish, they will never work if not abandoned'

Samuel Umtiti criticizes Real Madrid after 2-1 win over Inter Milan: 'This trio of superstars are selfish, they will never work if not abandoned' After Real Madrid's 2-1 home win over Inter Milan in the Champions League league phase, former French defender Samuel Umtiti launched a fierce critique of the Spanish club. In an interview on RMC's After Foot, Umtiti affirmed that despite the positive result, the team still has many tactical and team spirit weaknesses. He particularly highlighted the issue between superstars Kylian Mbappe, Vinicius Junior and Jude Bellingham. "There are sometimes big gaps in midfield, and defending is almost impossible," Umtiti said. He also pointed out that "there is a lot of selfishness among them. And if it isn't given up, it will never work". The match at Santiago Bernabeu showcased Real Madrid's attacking style in the early Champions League campaign. Although they won, Umtiti noted the lack of coordination among players. Real Madrid under Carlo Ancelotti usually plays balanced, but with Mbappe, Vinicius and Bellingham, an attacking trio of stars is created. However, Umtiti believes the three are not fully united, leading to unstable performance. He compares to other structures like 4-2-2-2 or 4-3-3 hybrid of Ancelotti, saying Real Madrid has imbalances. The match showed Real Madrid pressing high in the first half, but Inter Milan countered effectively. Mbappe scored in the 12th minute, Vinicius accelerated in the second, but Inter equalized via Lautaro Martinez. Mbappe's goal was a one-on-one, but Umtiti said it was luck, not coordination. He said: "If I were the coach, I would take the three of them and we would talk." This comment sparked controversy on social media, with many Real Madrid fans opposing, saying Umtiti's comments have Barcelona rivalry. Deeper analysis on Umtiti's motivation. As a former Barcelona player, Umtiti has clear views on Real Madrid. Previously, he played for Barca and criticized opponents. This time, after Mbappe joined Real, Umtiti may be expressing doubt about Mbappe's integration with Vinicius and Bellingham. Mbappe often plays left wing, Vinicius too, leading to position competition. Bellingham likes the center, creating discord. Umtiti believes this "selfishness" reduces overall strength, though each has excellent personality. On defense, Umtiti pointed to midfield gaps. Real Madrid often plays with Toni Kroos and Luka Modric in the middle, but when Modric is out, midfield is vulnerable. Inter Milan with high pressing exploited this. However, Real still won due to experience and quality. Compared to last season, when Real won Champions League, the lineup was more balanced. Now, with Mbappe addition, the lineup is in adaptation phase. On finance and transfers, no new info, but this criticism may affect Real Madrid's brand image. Mbappe, Vinicius and Bellingham are valuable assets, but if not united, squad value may drop. Ancelotti needs to quickly adjust tactics, perhaps focusing on more balanced pressing. The match result was 2-1, but according to Umtiti, "they got lucky." Shot probability for Real Madrid was high, but Inter had more chances. xG data shows Inter had higher xG, but Real won due to guts. This is a lesson for European teams: individual quality is not enough, need coordination. Pressure on Ancelotti increases. He needs to convince the stars, especially Mbappe after leaving PSG. Mbappe once said he wanted Champions League, but Umtiti's comments may lower morale. Vinicius and Bellingham also need to prove value. Comparison with other European rivals, Real Madrid is still title contender, but Inter Milan is strong too. The return match will decide. Real needs to improve defense, abandon selfishness to win. Umtiti's view may push Real Madrid to unite more. Many Real players said arguments make teams stronger. "Surrender is also a ballad," as in previous comments by Vũ Nam. Continue analysis, Umtiti compares Real Madrid with other teams. While Barca under him played high pressing, Real Madrid under Ancelotti often plays counter. Mbappe likes one-on-one, Vinicius plays speed, Bellingham plays control. This combination creates disadvantage against pressing teams like Inter. On data, no specific xG, but observation, Real Madrid had 15 shots, Inter 10. But Inter had 5 counter attacks. Umtiti said "defending is almost impossible," implying midfield lacks players. Kroos should return, but injury possible. Public image: Umtiti is praised for honesty, but also criticized as jealous. Many Inter Milan fans are happy, as they see Real Madrid still has weaknesses. Conclusion, after the match, Real Madrid needs internal meeting. Ancelotti may adjust Mbappe to play deeper, Vinicius right wing, Bellingham organizer. This season Real Madrid still champions, but needs improvement.
