The sequence made a lot of talk on the other side of the Pyrenees. While Real Madrid had just benefited from a penalty and could take the break, Kylian Mbappé left Vinicius to execute the sentence. “” The shooter remains Mbappé, but they decided it between the two “, entrusted Xabi Alonso at the end of the meeting.
And the politeness continued after the match. “Always with you on the boat”, Thus wrote the former Parisian on social networks, the Brazilian not failing to answer him:
“We are together, my brother. »» And for the Spanish press, this complicity is not feigned.
“The first one who gets along well with Vini is” Kiki “. That it is clear ”, assured
Marca while AS titrait: “Mbappé and Vinicius, end of the debate”, The Madrid daily seeing in this penalty left to his teammate “A therapeutic gesture of Mbappé, aware of the need for the Brazilian to revive.”
Vinicius rejected in the shadow of Kylian Mbappé
Because in a year, the roles were reversed. In the fall of 2024, while Kylian Mbappé lived a difficult moment, struggling to adapt to his new Madrid life, whether on the ground or outside, Vinicius was irresistible. If he had seen the Ballon d'Or escaped him despite the Champions League won a few months earlier with Real Madrid, he appeared as the boss of Club Merengue, or at least as his essential player.
But six months later, the situation had completely changed. Kylian Mbappé has once again become a marking machine, to the point of winning the golden shoe, and Vinicius has chained any matches. And the arrival of Xabi Alonso did not help the business of the Seleçao player.
Because if the Bondynois appears to him completely essential, it is not the same with the native of Rio, who has been left to start certain meetings on the bench in recent weeks. A situation experienced as an affront by the Madrid winger. “As he could fear at the time of the arrival of Kylian Mbappé in Real Madrid, Vinicius was completely overshadowed by the Frenchman and now he is only a supporting role responsible for making the star shine. It is necessarily difficult to live ”, also released a columnist from El Chiringuito this weekend.
