Real Madrid stars Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe are optimistic about a goal-filled 2025, having now had half a season to adapt to each other’s game.
Mbappe did not arrive in Madrid in top form after barely resting after Euro 2024 and has only recently begun to thrive on the famous all-white strip.
Frenchman admitted that the penalty was missed in the early December defeat at Athletic Club, his lowest moment, which provided the catalyst he needed to turn things around.
Vini has been in decent form for the most part, but missed a few games in December due to injury.
Madrid they are just one point behind La Liga leaders Atletico, with both capital sides overtaking struggling Barcelona, and it’s all to play for as long as things are ticking in the squad.
“Kylian is a great player and a great person. It’s very easy to play with him. He will score many goals for all the Madridistas. This is just the beginning,” remarked Vini as the pair appeared together on the club’s in-house media channel.
Mbappe made similar statements, speaking positively of what was to come.
“We can score a lot more and we will do that. I had to adapt to the new team and the dressing room helped me a lot. I thank them all,” said the former Paris Saint-Germain talisman.
“What do I admire most about Vini? His humility, no doubt.
“Everybody knows the player and sees his quality every three days. This year he won many collective titles and individual awards, but I emphasize his modesty. He always has a good relationship with the people in the dressing room and I like that a lot.”
