Nothing is going well in the Spanish capital anymore. Real Madrid is currently experiencing an internal crisis and the results are increasingly disappointing. The Merengues are second in the championship, behind FC Barcelona in great form and almost La Liga champions before this Sunday’s Clasico. Apart from this lack of collective performance, there would also be some rather disturbing individuals. The victory obtained against Espanyol, driven by a superb performance from Vinicius Jr, has relaunched an increasingly present debate: would the team be more efficient without Kylian Mbappé?

Criticism towards the 27-year-old Frenchman is increasing and as revealed the Cadena SER statistical analyzes fuel this opposition of styles which capsizes the former PSG player. Vinicius is distinguished by constant activity. The Brazilian runs more and also performs pressing and high-intensity efforts without balls. The South American striker weighs more in the construction of the game and especially helps his teammates in more delicate situations. However, the Frenchman, who scores more than him, adopts a more selective, more personal approach, and finds himself less dynamic. It remains to be seen what the next Clasico will have in store for us.
