The England national team won the bronze medal of the 2026 World Cup after an exciting 6-4 victory over France.

The match saw Jude Bellingham and Kylian Mbappé go from teammates at Real Madrid to opponents on the pitch.

According to Mundo Deportivo, there has been much talk over the past season about a tense atmosphere between Mbappé and Bellingham.

Now, after the World Cup match, rumors about their poor relationship have increased, due to the absence of any image or footage showing them exchanging greetings after the match.

The newspaper added: 'The two players shook hands before the match during the team handshakes; in fact, Mbappé even winked at Jude Bellingham at that moment.'

After the match ended, the French star went to the sidelines, while Bellingham made a point of shaking hands with the French players, including Ibrahima Konaté, who became his new teammate at Real Madrid.

As for the greeting between Bellingham and Mbappé, it was not captured in any footage, or perhaps it never happened at all.
