How does Real Madrid fight against Mbappe and his Vinicius?!
He is naturally gifted and matured from a young age, just like Kylian Mbappe!
It will be a golden opportunity for Brazilian Vinicius Junior against Paris Saint-Germain to remind his Real Madrid team that he already has a world-class left winger, when the two teams meet in the Spanish capital in the second leg of the Champions League final on Wednesday.
His emergence this season gradually cast doubt in the minds of the "Madridians": should Real Madrid fight for Mbappe's services when he owns Vinicius?
A question that wasn't asked a few months ago, is now legitimate.
The 21-year-old, whose value was estimated by the transfer market site "Transfermarket" at one hundred million euros, occupies the second place in the league's top scorer this season (13) behind his colleague in the French royal club Karim Benzema (19).
But despite the double he scored in the quarter-finals against Liverpool in the continental competition last season, Finney has a lot to prove.
In the first-leg match that Real Madrid lost with a goal unanswered in stoppage time scored by Mbappe in particular, the Parisian defense completely disrupted the Brazilian, who then reached eight games in a row without a goal and left the "Parc des Princes" stadium in a way other than what he wanted.
He should play on the left.
But since then, Vinicius returned to the impressive levels he made at the beginning of the season, contributing to Real's three victories in the league when he scored a goal against Alaves (3-0), passed the decisive ball for Benzema's goal against Rayo Vallecano (1-0) and got the penalty kick that The French scored from them against Real Sociedad last Saturday (4-1).
He also passed a beautiful ball with the heel of the foot to his colleague in the attacking line in the 68th minute, but the goal was canceled due to offside in the process of building the attack.
His double with Benzema this season constituted the deadly weapon for the Spanish capital club, as half of the decisive passes of the French went to Vinicius, and 55% of those achieved by the Brazilian were in favor of the spearhead.
The two players share a goal every 142 minutes and have scored more than half of Real Madrid's goals this season (43 out of 80 or 53.75%).
The integration between the French and the Brazilian tickles the press in Madrid.
If the "Merengue" succeeds in persuading Mbappe to join the "White Castle" as he wishes, the team will fall into a crisis of positions as the two players shine on the left hall.
"He is a player who should play on the left, and he will continue to play in that position regardless of his teammates. This is his position," Real Madrid coach Carlo Ancelotti said last November.
season of appearance
Vinicius arrived in the summer of 2018 from Flamengo for 45 million euros, but he did not find himself quickly in the Spanish capital.
After three seasons in which he was regularly criticized for his inaccuracy in the penalty area despite his obvious qualities in terms of speed and technique, Vinicius has finally appeared this season.
Until the middle of the season on January 12, he had 15 goals in all competitions, before his return faded after his return from that weak match in Paris.
In this important return meeting, the Madrid fans hope to see the Vinicius they saw at the beginning of the season.
Accompanied by his colleagues, he came out of the dressing room to greet the Ultras fans of the Royal Club, who remained in the stands for more than a quarter of an hour after the final whistle against Real Sociedad on Saturday, and chanted in Spanish, "Let's go towards the Champions League and "Yes, we are able."
