Yesterday, October 4, in the eighth round of La Liga, Real Madrid clinched a confident 3-1 victory over Villarreal at the Santiago Bernabéu. Vinicius Junior bagged a brace, while Kylian Mbappé added another goal. After the match, both stars exchanged warm words, effectively shutting down rumors of any possible rift between them.
Details: Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappé posted a joint message on social media. Accompanying a photo of the duo joyfully celebrating their goals, the caption read:
“Always on your boat,” wrote Mbappé
“We are in this together, my brother,” Vinicius replied
These statements stand out especially in light of the pre-match rumors: it was reported that Mbappé had allegedly complained to Real Madrid head coach Xabi Alonso about Vinicius's perceived selfish play during the Champions League fixture against Kazakhstan's Kairat.
Reminder: Tchouaméni became the sixth Frenchman in Real Madrid's history to make 100 La Liga appearances.
