It's fair game, and a priori the demonstration of a real complicity between the two superstars of the Merengue.
Tuesday was the last training of the year for all clubs around the world. Including the most illustrious of them, Real Madrid, which opened the doors to the public and even the media. Thus, Kylian Mbappé and Vinicius Jr. were able to have fun in front of the Mega cameras (and its famous Chiringuito show) and did not fail to tease each other, all smiles. First the Frenchman praised the humility of his teammate, to which the vice-Ballon d'Or also responded along the lines of his illustrious attacking partner: “He's a crack like no other and as a player, it’s very easy to play with him.”
“He’s the one who needs to score more”
It was a little less agreed afterwards, and therefore funnier, when Kylian Mbappé agrees that the two men must “do better” than their 28 goals between them (all competitions combined), and especially with the Brazilian's response: ” He’s the one who needs to score more.” All in good humor and bursts of laughter, of course, even if some Real supporters will perhaps smile dully, the comparative assessment of the first part of the season being in favor of Vinicius Jr. who is not supposed to score as much. However, the Frenchman is not doing so badly with seven goals in La Liga compared to eight for his teammate, it is especially in the Champions League that the problem lies since he has only scored twice compared to five for Vinicius Jr.
This final Real training session was also an opportunity for Jude Bellingham to offer a great moment of emotion to a very young supporter, in tears after receiving the jersey and a hug from his English idol. Less romantic, the wishes of President Florentino Pérez: “May 2025 bring us all health, work, peace and solidarity.” Luka Modric also spoke and welcomed the presence of all these fans.
