“I Deserve Better!” – Rodrygo Sends Message After Club World Cup Bench Shock
Real Madrid star Rodrygo has made no effort to hide his disappointment after being left out of the squad for the Club World Cup showdown against Borussia Dortmund.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
Real Madrid are set to take on Borussia Dortmund on Saturday night in what is being billed as one of the most thrilling matchups of this year’s Club World Cup. The match marks the return of star forward Kylian Mbappé, who has recovered after being hospitalised with gastroenteritis. Also included in Xabi Alonso’s starting lineup are key players such as Jude Bellingham, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Vinícius Jr. However, one notable omission from the starting XI is Rodrygo Goes, who finds himself on the bench again—and he’s clearly not happy about it. In the hours leading up to kickoff, Rodrygo posted a graphic promoting the match on his Instagram story, featuring images of himself in the Real Madrid kit. But shortly after the lineup was announced and it became clear he had been benched, the Brazilian forward quickly deleted the post—sparking speculation and reactions online. Sources close to the player suggest that Rodrygo is becoming increasingly frustrated with Alonso’s repeated decisions to sideline him in high-profile matches. Talks over a potential contract extension have reportedly stalled, and rumours are swirling that the 24-year-old may push for a move this summer. Arsenal are believed to be frontrunners should Rodrygo leave the Bernabéu, although Bayern Munich and Paris Saint-Germain are also monitoring the situation. Rodrygo’s current deal runs until June 2028, meaning any buying club would likely have to pay more than £70 million to initiate serious negotiations. Meanwhile, Arsenal’s pursuit of Chelsea winger Noni Madueke—with whom personal terms have reportedly been agreed—could complicate their ability or willingness to launch a formal bid for Rodrygo. Why Jude and Jobe Bellingham Won’t Face Each Other in Real Madrid vs Dortmund This highly anticipated Club World Cup clash between Real Madrid and Borussia Dortmund will not feature a historic showdown between brothers Jude and Jobe Bellingham, despite both players representing their respective clubs in the tournament. Jobe Bellingham, who recently joined Dortmund from Sunderland, has been ruled out due to suspension. He received a yellow card during Dortmund’s 2-1 win over Monterrey, following an earlier caution in the group stage match against Ulsan HD. According to Club World Cup rules, two yellow cards in the competition result in a one-match suspension—sidelining Jobe for this quarter-final. Jude Bellingham, speaking to the media ahead of the match, acknowledged the unfortunate timing of the suspension. Jobe had previously joined Jude in celebrating Real Madrid’s Champions League win in 2024, and Saturday’s match was set to be their first on-pitch meeting at the professional level. For now, fans will have to wait a little longer to see the Bellingham brothers share the spotlight in competitive action.
“He told me afterwards that nobody had informed him, and he wasn’t sure [about the rule],” Jude said.
“It would have been special for our family—something we’ve always dreamed of—but I’m sure the opportunity will come again.”

‘Kwankwaso Is More Experienced Than Peter Obi’ – Buhari’s Ex-Aide Declares.
Ahmad made the assertion in a post on his X handle, maintaining that Kwankwaso’s decision to accept the position of running mate should be seen as an act of political modesty rather than an indication that he is less qualified than Obi.....KINDLY READ THE FULL STORY HERE▶
According to the former presidential aide, the relationship between the two politicians should be viewed as one of equals rather than that of a superior and a subordinate.
“To be entirely candid, the political dynamic between Rabiu Kwankwaso and Peter Obi ought to be characterised as one of collegiality between peers, rather than a hierarchy of principal and subordinate,” he wrote.
He added, “The choice to assume a deputy role beneath Obi ought to be interpreted as a testament to political modesty.”
Making a case for Kwankwaso’s political experience, Ahmad recalled that the former Kano State governor served as Deputy Speaker of the House of Representatives before Obi became a prominent figure in national politics.
He also noted that Kwankwaso governed Kano State, which he described as Nigeria’s most populous and politically influential state, for two terms and served as a federal minister.
“If we are assessing political experience, Sen. Kwankwaso probably has a longer and more impressive political background than Peter Obi,” Ahmad stated.
In contrast, the former presidential aide argued that Obi’s major public office experience was limited to his tenure as governor of Anambra State.
“Unlike other candidates, Peter Obi was just a former governor of Anambra State,” he wrote.
