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.
Clubs line up for Nigerian Footballer, Ola Aina. It has reported that Liverpool and Manchester City have set their interest on the player.
The player is currently in the last days of his contract with Nottingham Forest. Aina is yet to sign an extension contract with the club and still has the opportunity to sign up with a new club.
The Nigerian footballer has set up a nice record as he established himself as one of the best full-backs in the Premier League.
Liverpool have set their sights on the player and are considering him as a replacement for Trent Alexander-Arnold. While Manchester City plans to replace Kyle Walker, who is expected to move soon.
Paul Scholes has urged Manchester United to sign Martin Zubimendi from Real Sociedad this summer.
The United legend believes manager Ruben Amorim is interested in the 26-year-old midfielder and thinks the club should offload four players to raise funds for the transfer.
Scholes hinted that Amorim’s recent comments suggest he admires Zubimendi. Ahead of United’s Europa League win over Real Sociedad, Amorim praised Zubimendi’s ability, saying, “He’s a top player who can change a team, especially in defensive midfield where he reads and blocks transitions well.”
Reacting to this, Scholes said, “It’s clear the manager likes Zubimendi. If we sell a few players, we could probably afford him.”
Zubimendi, who reportedly has a €60 million release clause, has also attracted interest from Arsenal, Manchester City, and Liverpool.
Victor Osimhen has sent a clear message to his Super Eagles teammates about the high expectations of the new head coach, Eric Chelle. Chelle took over earlier this year, replacing Augustine Eguavoen, and his first real test will be the 2026 World Cup qualifiers against Rwanda and Zimbabwe this month.
The Franco-Malian coach has already named his 23-man squad for the games, and Osimhen has shared some insight into what to expect under Chelle’s leadership. Speaking on the Obi One Podcast, Osimhen revealed that he has already spoken with Chelle ahead of the qualifiers.
“I know him from the last AFCON with Mali. He’s a coach who loves attacking football and demands a lot from his players,” Osimhen said. “He told me he needs me and the senior players to step up and help him achieve great things for Nigeria.”
Osimhen added that Chelle made his expectations clear. “If you don’t fight for every ball or give your all, you won’t play. He was very direct about that. He said he can be like a big brother or an uncle off the pitch, but once we step on the field, it’s all business. If the younger players see us giving everything, they’ll follow.”
