Mbappe Calls Vinicius a Great Player After Real Madrid’s 3-0 Victory Over Leganes
Kylian Mbappe, Real Madrid’s star forward, has expressed admiration for his teammate Vinicius Junior, praising the Brazilian winger as an exceptional talent.
According to the French international, the bond he shares with Vinicius both on and off the pitch plays a significant role in their success for the team.
Mbappe’s comments came after a commanding performance in Real Madrid’s 3-0 victory over Leganes in La Liga on Sunday.
The match saw goals from Mbappe himself, the in-form Jude Bellingham, and the versatile Fede Valverde, securing three crucial points for Carlo Ancelotti’s side as they pushed to maintain their dominance in the league.
Speaking to Real Madrid TV, Mbappe highlighted the chemistry between him and Vinicius, saying, “Vini Jr. and I understand each other perfectly.
We complement each other well on the field, and it’s amazing to play alongside someone with his skill and vision.”
He went on to add that their shared desire to win fuels their partnership.
“He’s not just a great player but also someone who works hard for the team.
Together, we’re focused on achieving great things.”
Vinicius Junior, who has been instrumental for Real Madrid since his arrival, has continued to impress with his pace, flair, and ability to break down defenses.
The Brazilian has been pivotal in several key moments this season, often linking up effectively with Mbappe to create scoring opportunities.
Meanwhile, Mbappe, who joined the Madrid giants in a high-profile move, has quickly become an integral part of the team, delivering goals and moments of brilliance.
The third scorer in the game, Jude Bellingham, also deserves recognition.
The English midfielder has taken La Liga by storm since his arrival from Borussia Dortmund, regularly contributing goals and dictating the tempo of games.
Fede Valverde, on the other hand, remains one of Ancelotti’s most reliable players, offering versatility and an eye for goal.
Carlo Ancelotti, who masterminds the team’s strategies, has praised the unity and hunger within the squad.
Under his guidance, Real Madrid has become a formidable force, blending youthful energy with seasoned experience.
Mbappe concluded his remarks with confidence in the team’s ambitions, stating, “We have some of the best players in the world here at Real Madrid, and we’re ready to win many matches and add more trophies to the club’s history.
Chelsea have turned down Arsenal’s opening offer for promising England U-18 goalkeeper Freddy Bernal. According to Fabrizio Romano, the Blues showed no interest in entertaining the initial £1.25 million bid, making it clear they want to hold on to the young talent.
Despite the rejection, Arsenal are expected to return with an improved offer as they continue their push for the highly-rated shot-stopper. Chelsea, however, remain determined to keep Bernal at Stamford Bridge, where he’s seen as one for the future. Romano also mentioned that other clubs are keeping tabs on the young keeper’s situation.
Barcelona’s Lamine Yamal took a cheeky jab at Real Madrid’s Jude Bellingham after his side’s thrilling 4-3 victory over Los Blancos in Sunday’s El Clasico.
Before the match, Barcelona had suffered a Champions League exit to Inter Milan, which led to some Real Madrid players, including Bellingham and club legend Sergio Ramos, showing support for Inter’s Alessandro Bastoni by liking his celebratory post on social media.
But Yamal had the last word after Barcelona’s win. The 17-year-old took to Instagram with a playful message, saying “like this one too” alongside a winking emoji. He posted a photo of himself mimicking a famous Cristiano Ronaldo celebration from 2012, when Ronaldo’s goal sealed a 2-1 win for Real Madrid over Barcelona after a crushing 5-0 defeat earlier that season.
Yamal’s goal, along with efforts from Eric Garcia and Raphinha, secured the victory for Barcelona, while Kylian Mbappé’s hat-trick wasn’t enough for Madrid.
Barcelona boss Hansi Flick praised Lamine Yamal for his mature display in their thrilling 4-3 victory over Real Madrid on Sunday. The 17-year-old forward impressed once again, helping push the Catalan side closer to the LaLiga title.
Yamal netted Barcelona’s second goal with a sharp finish into the corner of the net just inside the box, turning the game around after they had gone two goals down to an early Kylian Mbappé brace. By halftime, Barça were up 4-2. Though Mbappé later completed his hat-trick, Barcelona managed to hang on for the win at the Olympic Stadium, putting them seven points ahead of Madrid with only three matches left.
Speaking after the match, Flick dismissed any notion of Yamal being too young for the moment. “He’s not just a kid,” the coach said. “He’s confident, smart, and knows what he’s doing out there. That goal brought us back into the game and showed just how much quality he has at only 17. That’s exactly what we expect from him.”
