Considered in previous seasons as one of the very best players in the world, even the best for some, Kylian Mbappé has lost this status in recent months. It must be said that the kid from Bondy has a string of average performances with Real Madrid, despite statistics that are far from infamous (12 goals and 2 assists in 22 matches).
On the side of the White House, the captain of the Blues must share the spotlight with other big names, like Vinicius Junior. And for the moment, “Kyk’s” is a tone below the Brazilian, believes Carlo Ancelotti, who declared this Friday at a press conference that the former Flamengo prodigy was quite simply the best player on the planet currently.
Ancelotti: “Vinicius is the best player in the world, for us”
“Vinicius is the best player in the world, for us. He is always there with enormous humility, which is not usual for a player of his level. But the level he has does not surprise us “, proclaimed the Italian technician to the media.
A statement which should not please Kylian Mbappé, who will not be able to make his coach lie on Saturday evening against Rayo Vallecano. Indeed, the former Parisian is out of this match after contracting a muscle injury in his thigh this week against Atalanta in the Champions League. For his part, Vinicius, back from injury, should continue this weekend.
