Mbappé's gesture when he saw Vinicius after joining Miami later

Cameras have captured what happened between the two of them when they met in the United States

Real Madrid traveled this Saturday to the United States ahead of its debut in the Club World Cup this Wednesday. At the Four Seasons Palm Beach hotel in Florida, three more players joined the training camp. Vinicius, Arda Güler, and Lunin are now with the rest of their teammates.

The three have had commitments with their national teams this week, which is why they arrived later. Xabi already has them at his disposal to start working with them immediately. This reunion featured a very special moment that many wanted to see.

Real Madrid has released the images showing how that reunion went, focusing on two players. They wanted to see how Vinicius and Mbappé greeted each other at this reunion. It's clear that they have a great friendship, because they shared a hug while laughing.

Everyone who claims there's bad blood between them probably didn't like those images. It shows exactly the opposite, proving those are lies since they're great friends and make it clear. Moreover, that hug excites Madridists looking ahead to next season, and also to the World Cup.

Xabi Alonso has an important mission with Vinicius and Mbappé

During this season, we've seen two versions of Mbappé, coinciding with his adaptation to the team. Since then, he became the team's top scorer and won the Golden Boot as the best scorer in Europe. His numbers have shown that his level has been very high.

But the one who hasn't performed as desired was Vinicius, who only shined at the beginning. Little by little, he's lost some rhythm and hasn't been as relevant as last season. Real Madrid has felt that absence since it's missed him.

Xabi Alonso needs to get the best version of both players at the same time. If Mbappé and Vinicius understand each other and show their quality, Madrid will have a lot to gain. That's the first goal that needs to be set for the Club World Cup first and foremost.
