Kylian Mbappe is 'crushing Vinicius Jr at Real Madrid, claims pundit
Former Marseille star Eric Di Meco claimed that Kylian Mbappe was 'crushing' Vinicius Jr at Real Madrid since joining from Paris Saint-Germain last summer. He believes that the Frenchman has become the main man at the club, showing the right attitude and turning up in the big games. He said:
“Signing Mbappé was Florentino Pérez's dream. He has followed his dream. Madrid's sporting dream too, because Mbappé is a player that everyone wants to have in the squad. However, you are putting two roosters in the same henhouse. We suspected that the coexistence between Mbappé and Vinicius would be difficult. Florentino Perez told himself that Ancelotti would solve the problems in the dressing room.
"First we asked ourselves if Mbappé would be able to adapt to this team that had won a lot. At the beginning of the season we said to ourselves: 'Oh, there is going to be a problem and he is the one who is going to pay for it'. But we forgot that Mbappé is a mental and sporting monster. With his performances and his attitude, he is starting to make Vinicius crack. Mbappé is crushing him."
Vinicius Jr and Kylian Mbappe have played 55 matches together at Real Madrid, combining for 12 goals. The Frenchman has scored 10 of those goals, while the Brazilian has managed just two.
