Two Real Madrid players have been incessantly booed during the first half of their side\u2019s Champions League clash against Liverpool at Anfield \u2013 and fans have worked out exactly why.<\/p>\n
A depleted Real side arrived in England missing several key players, including Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo and Daniel Carvajal, through varying degrees of injury.<\/p>\n
Manager Carlo Ancelotti has been forced to field a youthful bench, while 21-year-old Raul Asencio is making his first Champions League start.<\/p>\n
Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham, though, both started the clash at Anfield \u2013 but have been booed by Liverpool fans during the first half.<\/p>\n
It wouldn\u2019t immediately be clear why, as neither player has a connection to Liverpool nor have ever performed particularly well against them in the past.<\/p>\n
But rather than either of those factors, fans are convinced that the fact that neither player chose to sign for the Reds instead of Real is the principal reason behind the boos.<\/p>\n
One wrote: \u201cLiverpool fans booing Bellingham and Mbappe because they didn\u2019t sign for them, deary me.\u201d<\/p>\n
Another added: \u201cLiverpool fans think they stood a chance to sign any of Mbappe or Bellingham.\u201d<\/p>\n
A third said: \u201cLiverpool fans booing Bellingham and Mbappe because they couldn\u2019t afford to sign them.\u201d<\/p>\n
But another fan took a slightly different view: \u201cThey\u2019re booing Bellingham because he may be one of the reasons Trent moves to Real (they\u2019re good friends).\u201d<\/p>\n
