Real Madrid star Vinicius Jr. has shared his thoughts on Kylian Mbappe’s first-ever hat-trick for the club during their dominant 3-0 victory over Real Valladolid.

Mbappe delivered an electrifying performance at Estadio José Zorrilla, netting all three goals in a match that solidified Real Madrid’s position as La Liga leaders with 49 points from 21 games.

The forward’s first goal came in the 30th minute following a brilliant one-two combination with Jude Bellingham, who has been instrumental in Madrid’s midfield this season.

Mbappe struck again in the 57th minute, finishing off a perfectly timed through ball from Rodrygo, another young talent whose creativity continues to shine. He completed his hat-trick in added time (90’+1’) with a coolly taken penalty after Bellingham was fouled inside the box.

After the game, Vinicius Jr. took to Instagram to celebrate his teammate’s milestone, writing, “3X! I like this celebration,” referring to Mbappe’s signature goal gesture.
