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.
