Bellingham and Littler Support Maddison in Clash with Maupay
In a recent clash between James Maddison and Neal Maupay, tensions spilled over from the pitch to Instagram. The two players were involved in a heated on-pitch altercation, which led to an exchange on social media that has yet to die down. Maupay’s attempt at s***housing against Tottenham backfired, resulting in a 3-2 defeat for his team.
The incident began when Maupay scored the opening goal in the 15th minute and decided to mock Maddison’s dart-throwing celebration in front of the crowd. This alone would have been enough to create a significant storyline, especially with Tottenham’s comeback victory leaving Maupay embarrassed. However, Maddison was not one to back down and added some extra spice to the situation.
After Maupay’s celebration, Maddison confronted the striker, resulting in a heated exchange that almost led to yellow cards being shown. Ultimately, Maddison had the last laugh and made sure to share his victory with his 1.9 million Instagram followers. He posted a series of photos, including Maupay’s celebration, his own celebration, and the final score, with the eventual match-winner being Richarlison.
To further rub salt in Maupay’s wounds, Maddison received support from some big names. Both Jude Bellingham and darts sensation Luke Littler commented on Maddison’s post. Littler used a dart in a dartboard emoji and said, “Yes sirrrr,” while Bellingham simply commented with a grimacing emoji.
However, Maupay couldn’t resist having the last word. He posted another photo of himself celebrating 20 minutes later and took an additional dig at Maddison. In his caption, he wrote, “Went a bit early with that one. Gutted we couldn’t get the win. More goals and fewer relegations in my career than James Maddison. We go again Monday bees.” He also commented on Maddison’s post, writing, “Ahaha rent free.”
Maddison had previously explained the altercation, stating that he had told Maupay that he hadn’t scored enough goals to have his own celebration, so he had to copy Maddison’s. He added, “A short story, it ended well for us though.” However, judging by the aftermath and Maupay’s history, this story is far from over and will likely continue when the two sides meet again.
In Conclusion
The clash between James Maddison and Neal Maupay has created quite a stir both on and off the pitch. Maddison’s witty remark aimed at Maupay led to a heated confrontation and a series of social media exchanges. With support from Jude Bellingham and Luke Littler, Maddison clearly had the upper hand in the aftermath. However, Maupay had the last word, taking a final dig at Maddison. As tensions continue to simmer, it is clear that this feud is far from over and will likely resurface when the two players meet again in the future.
