Real Madrid sensation opens up about his connection with Mbappe – ‘Playing with top players…’ | OneFootball

Real Madrid forward Vinicius Jr. has made it clear that his relationship with Kylian Mbappe is strong, both on and off the pitch.

His comments come at a time when questions have been raised about their chemistry, largely fuelled by media speculation.

Ever since Mbappe arrived from Paris Saint-Germain, there has been constant talk about how he would fit into Real Madrid’s attack, especially alongside Vinicius.

The media has closely followed their partnership, analysing every move and interaction. Adding to the speculation, recent reports have suggested that Vinicius could be considering a move to Saudi Arabia.

However, the forward has stated that “My connection with Mbappe is very good, on and off the pitch. It’s crucial to make great things happen.

“Playing with top players always makes things easier. It took some time for Kylian to adapt but he’s doing great now,” as quoted by Fabrizio Romano.

Plenty of negative news

Recently, some rumours claimed that Mbappe’s presence may have affected his role in the team, leading to doubts about his future.

The situation became more intense when Vinicius was sidelined for a few matches due to injury. In his absence, Mbappe and Rodrygo formed a strong attacking duo, delivering impressive performances.

Their chemistry on the field was evident, and some even argued that Real Madrid did not feel the absence of Vinicius as much as expected. This only added to the speculation about his place in the team.

Vinicius is committed to Real Madrid

However, Vinicius has now put those rumours to rest. Following the Manchester City game, he not only dismissed talk of a potential exit but also confirmed that he shares a great understanding with Mbappe.

He acknowledged that it took some time for Mbappe to settle in but emphasised that playing alongside top players always makes things easier.

With these remarks, Vinicius has reassured fans that there is no issue between him and Mbappe.

Instead of being rivals for influence in the squad, the two are working together to help Real Madrid achieve success. For now, any doubts about their connection have been silenced.
